Description

Avoid burdening your Z System with old and unnecessary software by maximizing the return on investment from your Mainframe systems; this can be achieved through fostering ongoing innovation and speed by utilizing the software resources that are most valuable to your organization via a comprehensive IT asset management strategy. Streamline software expenses, ease asset management responsibilities, and effortlessly meet software vendor audit requirements. ZAO generates a precise inventory of software assets across each mainframe system by executing a batch job that identifies loadable programs within zOS® data sets and z/OS UNIX Systems Services file systems. Continuous monitoring and reporting of each asset's usage provide you with a clear perspective on software asset performance. Furthermore, ZAO allows you to input licensing details for your vendor software assets, which are then cross-referenced with the inventory and usage data on your mainframe systems to uncover optimization opportunities and potential audit risks. By implementing such a program, organizations not only enhance efficiency but also ensure compliance and strategic resource allocation.

Description

Achieve comprehensive oversight of your software and IT asset environment. This capability enables you to cut expenses and mitigate risks associated with software entitlements, usage, deployment, decommissioning, and overall compliance. By merging all licensing entitlements from enterprise agreements, purchases, and additional records, you can ensure adherence to software compliance and lessen the likelihood of audits. Moreover, it assists in pinpointing underutilized software licenses, suggesting effective strategies for license harvesting and reassignment. You have the ability to reconcile contracts, purchase data, and entitlement details with standardized inventory information, which is essential for maintaining accurate records. This tool also allows you to monitor evolving software license structures effectively. Additionally, it features a user-friendly shopping catalog tailored for end users. By enhancing visibility into your organization’s software licenses across on-premise, cloud, and SaaS platforms, you can easily identify programs that are not in use. Finally, it streamlines the process of calculating license usage and automatically reconciles Effective License Position (ELP) reports, ensuring that your software management is both efficient and compliant.
