In short

Software licences are a contract you are already being measured against.

Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, SAP and other publishers have the right to check how their software is used, and their licensing rules are complex enough that most organisations cannot say with confidence whether they are over or under. The result is money spent twice: on licences nobody uses, and on settlements when an audit finds a gap. CerteroX SAM keeps that answer current, with the evidence behind it.

  • Cost

    Buy what you use, reuse what you do not.

    Usage is tracked alongside what you own, so unused licences are moved to the people who need them before anyone raises a new purchase order, and renewals are negotiated from real numbers.

  • Risk

    Audit-ready all year round.

    The licence position is kept up to date with the contracts and evidence behind every figure. Oracle’s own audit team can accept Certero data during an official audit.

  • Effort

    No more spreadsheet reconciliations.

    Purchases, installations and usage are read from the systems that already hold them, so your licensing team checks a result instead of spending weeks building one.
