Increasing number of audits

Complex licensing schemes (under/over-compliance)

Compliance in virtualized environment

Overspending on licenses

Software Asset Management is hot

Example of savings

Oracle

Soft partitioning Virtualization technology: you need to license all cores of the physical host

Operations moves an Oracle Instance in a VM from a cluster to another (Vmotion) due to fail-over situation

-->10 cores in original cluster / 30 cores in the fail-over cluster

Operations forgot to move it back after fail-over ended

Audit fee = $940K <---> 1 Oracle core factor license = $47 K

Windows Enterprise Server

1 License covers one Server and 4 VMs

If you deploy a 5th, this will cost $2000 (1*8 proc. license)

Office Visio

1 license = $150

100 users have installed it one day to open a Visio file… and never removed or used

100*$150 = $15,000

“Through 2014, enterprise software spend will increase by 25% from

current figures as a consequence of the proliferation of “smart OT*”.1

1 Gartner, “Predicts 2013: IT and OT Alignment Has Risks and Opportunities” by J. K. Steenstrup, P. Iyengar et al, November 2012, ID: G00245299

* OT is Operational Technology

HP Universal Disocvery for Oracle LMS


Universal Discovery for ORACLE Licensing

An Oracle-verified solution for collecting and summarizing

license information about Oracle Databases (version 8+)

Co-developed by Oracle License Management Services (LMS) and

HP Software.

A unique solution that enables the rapid and non-intrusive

collection of information required to maintain compliance.

Accelerates license review engagements by having an Oracle

license audit report at hand in advance of a formal audit.

Software Asset Management using HP Asset Manager


Compliance Checks

License Management

Policy Management

Inventory Management

Processes for a successful on SAM project

Prove Compliance:• Deploy Counters• Reconcile counters to entitlements• Remove or purchase software

Continuously Improve:• Track contracts • Improve ITAM and procurement

processes• “Teach” discovery tools

Establish Governance:• Convene cross-functional governance team • Define DSL titles • Create provisioning processes

Understand Current State:• Deploy discovery tools• Normalize data• Gradually expand scope

Software utilization governance

Define rules

Who is allowed to use what applications

Manage a Definitive Software Library (DSL) that will be the reference

Communicate rules to employees

Publish them

Have employees accountable for the use of applications (code of conduct)

Set up processes

To extend DSL

For users to request access to applications

Capture the rules in your Asset Management application (re-used forsoftware compliance)

License life cycle management

Inventorize existing licenses, capture existing contract terms and conditions

Automate new contracts negotiation and validation

License Life cycle management

Procurement: Centralize, Standardize, Automate

Allocation to users: automate requests, check compliance, re-allocate un-used rights

Renew maintenance / dispose (subscriptions)


License Life Cycle Management automated through Asset Manager workflows


Compliance Management

Start small expand

Key to success: one single SW Asset Management tool

Compliance report should tackle licensing rules (per CPU / Virtual platforms / downgrade rights…).

Need for powerful relational database asset management application

Ideal compliance report should reconcile

By cost center, country or user

Rights, users entitlements to applications, deployed application and unused applications

Update reports (automation)


Comprehensive vision of compliance with drill down capabilities through Asset Manager


Detailed reports, proactive management of maintenances’ renewals


Understanding of costs and more


Upgrade and downgrade rights report

Upgrade rights are taken out of the upgraded license version and rolled up to the target version

Downgrade rights are afterwards applied for newer versions that would be over compliant

Compliance after upgrades

Compliance after downgrades


Next steps

Optimize costs / mitigate risks

Re negotiate contracts or stop maintenance in case of over compliance

Procure new licenses

Remove unused applications or applications used by not entitled people

Expand your SAM Project

After a quick win

Sell your SAM project and expand to other titles / publishers
