We have found that, in as many as 90%+ of copyright non compliance settlement announcements, the published costs of a software piracy audit generally have
very little to do with the actual financial impact of the non
compliance (piracy) confrontation. In our training programs for
software asset management and software & copyright compliance
assurance we work through the actual audit scenarios to show how multiple
hidden costs can add up to as much as 3 to 6 times--sometimes even more--the published
fine.
What's more, in our experience, fewer than ten percent of actual copyright violation audits are ever even made public. The end result?
The true economic impact of these predatory copyright violations & piracy audits has been hidden from the public eye for decades.
Read on for
more details on how you can build a low cost foundation for reducing your risk of a software audit while increasing the delivered business value of your entire technology portfolio.

Steven Bandrowczak, the Nortel CIO,
wants to reduce his software application portfolio from 1,100
titles down to 100 over an 18 month period. (Read
Andy McCue's ZDNet/Asia article.) According to Bandrowczak, "When
I came we had a lot of projects not necessarily 100 per cent aligned
to key initiatives.” Great quote, Steven...
I'm sorry, but that pretty much sounds to me like corporate-speak for: "We were paying for a whole lot of useless projects." Don't feel bad, Steven, most of us are likely floating around on that same leaky pontoon.
When it comes to software asset management, we've found that a majority of companies could benefit from some
serious licensing, support, and maintenance house-cleaning.
Unfortunately, it isn't going to happen until we take a good look at
changing the status quo.
If you could reduce the costs of IT assets while continuing to deliver the same-or even better-services, would you take action? Read on to discover some of the key reasons technology asset management and portfolio management initiatives fail--or, even better, succeed.
