Then find your goals...


STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 922 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of Process Design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which License Management improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 922 standard requirements:

  1. If on-premise software is a must, a balance of choice and simplicity is essential. When specific users are viewing and interacting with analytics, can you use a named-user licensing model that offers accessibility without the need for hardware considerations?

  2. Are the data and associated software produced and/or used in the project accessible and in what modalities, scope, licenses (e.g. licensing framework for research and education, embargo periods, commercial exploitation, etc.)?

  3. Critical vendors - how many servers do you have in use with installations of products from vendors with complex licensing requirements, and from the already stated who conduct stringent compliance audits?

  4. Does your organization have corporate policies and management controls in place to ensure that only corporate-approved (licensed and vetted) software components are used during the development process?

  5. Licensing issues; for example, if you have a license for software (e.g.., SAP) that is priced based on the number of users, how will the substitution of a software robot in place of humans be counted?

  6. Licensing expertise - do you have the licensing expertise for smaller vendors with high audit risk, including product licensing, applying to servers/ clients/network access/virtualized environments?

  7. Maintenance - do you keep all licenses under active maintenance, or at least consistent per each infrastructure element (server, etc.), such as oracle support, ibm s&s, microsoft sa?

  8. License assets - do your license assets have a high value (i.e. replacement value - value of new purchases of licenses at current price, including regular customer discounts)?

  9. How often do you reconcile software inventories with other sources to verify the accuracy of assumed license metrics (for example user counts based on HR employee records)?

  10. Issues products with guarantees and product options, producing contingent liability cash flows. What types of assets should be purchased to support this product liability?
