Fairland Consulting Announe New Software Asset Management Team

London, United Kingdom, November 09, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The focus upon Software Asset Management has come about from the large software vendors focussing on prosecuting the many organisations who are unable to manage their licenses effectively. The vendors including Microsoft, Oracle, Symantec focus on under-licensing - whilst in many cases they actually benefit from clients being over-licensed.

Fairland want you to have the correct licensing - not be under or over licensed - and Fairland can do it more efficiently than most organisations as this is all the dedicated staff do - day in day out. Contact today SAM@fairland.co.uk for an initial discussion.

When an IT infrastructure has grown organically over the years, it makes it difficult to keep abreast of what software is used and how, and whether the licences are in line with the latest contractual and legal stipulations.

Every unused licence represents wasted expense and every missing licence represents an unlawful infringement of copyright. Even the unintentional misuse of software can lead to claims for damages, and every effort should be undertaken to avoid it.
