Effective management of an organisation’s IT depends on full visibility, but this remains a challenge for many IT leaders. More than 50% of IT spend has moved out of the CIO’s control and into business units, creating a technology sprawl that is difficult to identify, monitor and measure.
The result: 4% of customers are overspending on hardware and licensing, wasting precious IT budget. Based on a study of all Data#3 Software Asset Management Customers, the remaining 46% are under-licensed and pose a compliance risk to the organisation.
Traditional asset management systems are restricted to specific areas of your technology stack, either managing your hardware or ensure licensing compliance. However, without a clear and complete view of all on-premises and cloud resources, technology cannot be optimised to meet organisational goals, compliance cannot be enforced and your systems and data may not be as protected as you think. Technology Intelligence is the ability to understand and manage all your technology to reduce risk, prevent overspend, and quickly grasp business opportunities.
