What will we find out?

This blog is all about managing technologies as business assets. Up until now, the vast majority of companies manage their incredibly valuable business technology assets in one of the following ways:
  • They don't manage it at all,
  • They manage technology assets only in an ad hoc manner,
  • They only use periodic software asset management & only when forced to do so by a software audit or software piracy audit,
  • They expect their technical personnel to manage everything...
The day your company begins using formal business processes to manage the entire life cycle of business technology assets is the day you begin reducing costs and risks by as much as 50%.

Failure to do so simply means that you will continue to be exposed to software piracy audits, software license non compliance penalties, font violation audits, graphics violation audits, even copyright violations of MP3 and video products. Also, you might want to check your systems for games. Yep! The gaming industries are also more than willing to dip into your bottom line for copyright violation settlements.
