Insight Software Management SolutionsFor over 23 years, Insight has been exposed to the software asset management (SAM) practices of the largest corporations in the world, and has witnessed firsthand some of the best practices for dealing with associated challenges.

Insight uses certified, licensed professionals to partner with clients using a consultative approach. By analyzing data and internal processes, our experts focus on diagnosing the problem and implementing solutions and best practices that create continuous improvements.

Our team of experts can help you track and reconcile contract and licensing data with installed software. They also evaluate IT and procurement policies and procedures to ensure you're maximizing your software investments.

Insight:LicenseAdvisor™


Insight:LicenseAdvisor is our own dynamic SAM framework and process tool that gives you the ability to track, analyze and manage your own software assets from procurement through deployment. You have access to your data anytime you need it.
  • Integrate procurement data, inventory data, distribution technology, end-user requests and workflow
  • Meet Sarbanes-Oxley compliance regulations
  • Control maverick purchasing and overbuying
  • Re-aallocate licenses as they become available through employee movement, acquisition or divestiture
  • Continuously manage license compliance, entitlements and consumption
  • Reduce IT administrative intervention in software lifecycles
Since Insight:LicenseAdvisor oversees every aspect of the software purchasing, distribution and management processes, you can track how licenses are being used, reused and retired within your organization.

Insight:LicenseAdvisor fits seamlessly into your existing software asset management environment and integrates with the software asset management tools you already have. It provides end-to-end communication and workflow while simultaneously providing visibility into overall software spending.
