Your chances of being embroiled in a
non compliance—piracy—punitive audit are higher today than at any
time in the history of copyright enforcement. Here's how it works:
When your company lays off personnel, you are opening yourself up to
a significantly higher probability of enforcement audit -- anti piracy -- scrutiny. In
fact, your chances of becoming involved in a compliance software audit could
geometrically increase by as much as double for every five employees
you let go.
Do you think this perspective is all so
much hot air? Sign in and read on to discover how your level of risk
is ballooning as the economy becomes increasingly unstable. More
importantly, read on to discover proven methods for ensuring that what little
corporate money you still have stays right there in your own pockets, rather than being
payed out to enhance the incomes of the software and copyright protected
products industry players.
Real World: Several enforcement industry players are aggressively advertising whistle-blower rewards of up to $1,000,000 to current or former employees who finger your enterprise for a punitive software audit. Think your company is safe? You'd be dead wrong. You do not have to be guilty of any wrong-doing to wind up on the losing side of a license non compliance audit!
The bottom line is that technology portfolio management isn't about how much you spend and the anti piracy risks you take. It's about the solid business value
you should be receiving for every single technology dollar you invest. When you can
very easily enhance the value you gain from your business
technologies, while minimizing initial and ongoing costs AND
minimizing related risks, the simple common sense solutions we discuss become no-brainers.
Our focus is on putting that value - that priceless revenue - back in your pocket...and KEEPING it there - not siphoning more cash out for some supplier's proprietary "maybe" solution.

I don't know about you, but for a lot of folks money is tight--very tight. If you are in that boat it's time you took a serious look at your IT spending habits and processes. Fed up? You can implement a core technology portfolio management infrastructure that helps your enterprise save a bundle--and you can do it for pennies. The odds are as high as 90% that you are paying for goods or services that you don't need; don't receive; or could easily discount. Think I'm kidding?
Real World:
The vast majority of companies spend as much as 50% more for software than necessary.
Nearly any company can be guilty of paying nearly double for hardware over the life cycle of the product.
Tech support & maintenance? You are virtually guaranteed to be tossing cash down the drain.
Every one of these issues holds as much truth for the company owning three computers as it does for the company with thirty thousand computers. Every one of these issues also holds just as much truth for PCs (notebooks or desktops), Macs, minis, and mainframes.
Would you like to stop the IT spending madness? Here's an enormous hint: You DO NOT have to invest more money to save money on IT asset management or, if you would rather redefine the concept, in IT life cycle management / technology portfolio management.
Any company--ANY company--can start an effective technology portfolio management program today--right now--by investing in nothing but a little more focused use of existing internal brain power.
