Matrix42 License Management II
The previous training session focused on introducing license management and ensuring compliance with client software. In the Matrix42 License Management II training, license managers learn how they can make a lasting and significant contribution to the company’s success through additional measures.
In the three-day Matrix42 License Management II training course, participants evolve from license administrators to license managers. Following the introductory training, the focus now shifts to proactive cost reduction and avoidance. Among other things, this involves determining whether users actually need existing software licenses or whether the company ever intended for them to be installed in the first place. Answers and incentives come through process and system integration with the company-wide request and approval process, contract management, and cost allocation.
The processes in the Matrix42 Service Catalog address the question of business requirements and cost drivers. Metering with Matrix42 Empirum determines whether software is needed. Combining this with contract management identifies maintenance and support contracts that can be terminated. The extent of compliance risks can be quantified in financial terms. To achieve this, the training provides an understanding of end-to-end processes and concrete recommendations for data quality management. Last but not least, the training addresses the complex tasks of Microsoft Server license management and, consequently, the greatest potential for cost savings.
