License management across industries

With the ever-growing digital transformation of industries, companies across all sectors are increasingly relying on complex software and tools from various vendors. This has led to increase in the number of software licenses that organizations need to manage on a daily basis. From CRM and ERP systems to specialized engineering and design tools, modern businesses utilize a whole host of applications, each with its own set of licenses. Keeping track of all these licenses, ensuring compliances, and optimizing usage has become a challenge for IT departments. This boosts demand for license management solutions as more companies realize the need for dedicated license management software and services.

Supporting multi-vendor environments

 Growing need to manage licenses from multiple software vendors through a single platform can drive the market growth. Earlier, organizations would typically deploy solutions from one or two key vendors in their environment. However, nowadays firms leverage tools from a wide array of providers to meet diverse business needs. This has drastically increased the license administration overhead. Managing licenses from dozens of different vendors using spreadsheets and disjointed processes is an ineffective and error-prone approach. Vendors in the license management market are helping companies to overcome this challenge by offering integrated platforms that provide a consolidated view of all licenses alongside efficient usage monitoring and compliance for every vendor in the IT landscape. This is proving valuable for enterprises and boosts spending on license management capabilities.
