But licensing isn't that simple.
When you're dealing with larger platforms it's more about performance and that means different metrics - think Processor Value Units, Resource Value Units, Sockets, Cores and CPU's - and don't forget about hyper-threading.
This is where the knowledge-based competency of licensing comes into play, unravelling that seemingly endless array of information that needs to be referenced, deciphered, and understood. License Agreements, General Terms, Use Rights, Announcement Letters ... all material relevant to how you tally up your usage, and ultimately the price you'll have to pay.
Sure, there are tools on the market to help you collect information and report software deployment, but they tend to be either a vendors proprietary product for their software or big solutions for what are mostly smaller problems that end up being just too difficult to configure and maintain for your own specific environment.
So what about a simplified tool? One that could be configured direct to your requirements, be easily customisable, and still be smart enough to analyse, categorise, and report the information you need to decipher your licensing - all presented in a familiar and readily usable form ...

The most cost effective, featured, hardware and software discovery and inventory tool on the market
designed specifically for SME organisations.

How is ComplianceWare different to that of our competitors? Well firstly, rather than create a massive catalogue of industry software we target only those products that are important to our customers, with a portfolio that can be added or amended at any time, quickly, easily, and reliably.
And just how many dashboards, charts and flashy graphics do you really need - its the data that's key, and that's what ComplianceWare provides - simple, succinct, and current information, ie. what you need, when you need it.

But sure, if deft animations, ritzy dials and trendy visuals are more your thing
(ask though, is that really good enough to bank compliance on?)
- and moneys no object - well, yes, there are other tools out there.

ComplianceWare will interrogate your target systems - with optional inclusion of output from IBM's ILMT, Falcon CrowdStrike, Microsoft's SCCM - even custom data sources - extracting data that is then compiled into a series of relevant spreadsheets that give you that elusive answer to the often repeated 'how can it be so hard?' question, with a simple, concise summary and full data profile for analytics.
Whoa ... wait a minute ...
... we don't need a complete SAM system - we just want a Contracts and License repository to keep our key evidential records traceable, organised and safe!

Well if you're sure you don't need all the trimmings like inventory discovery, data ingestion, analytic engines, compliance reporting, baseline comparisons etc etc. we can do that too - check out our:

a reliable, qualified artefact for any audit or true-up and a baseline to compare with later, recurrent reporting.
With access over the cloud via secure access for authorised personnel via any browser, anywhere, anytime, your information is at hand when and where you need it.
Authorised Users have unlimited capability to generate software inventory reports based on data extracts run to any schedule you determine, commonly monthly.
... a simple, easy interface that exposes the functions needed to configure and run your reports
... each report configurable based on products that you want to include
with the source data files generated via simple network deployed ComplianceWare scripts...
and a powerful pandas based analytics engine creating detailed output per device
(including core counts, value units, and bundling)
(including core counts, value units, and bundling)
that gives you all the information you need for the products you target ...
ComplianceWare also provides for full Installation interrogation utilising an efficient multi-search text facility that enables substring queries across Devices, Products, and ID's that returns a result-set of all qualifying installs. With this powerful function you can data mine all of the installations extracted for your Primary Datafiles, and slice the results to just the records you're interested in - a Device, a particular Product, maybe all Installations for a specific Vendor - all are catered for:
And of course - like all of the record listings in ComplianceWare,
built-in exports to Excel are available for more analytics, data slicing, and reporting.
