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
The primary motivation for SAM audits is financial gain, with vendors aiming to generate 30% of their profits from these yearly evaluations. Consequently, the frequency of audits has increased, as evidenced by a Gartner survey indicating that 66% of companies have experienced audit requests. VeraTrust offers a comprehensive visual representation of the licensing landscape along with audit reports that facilitate reconciliation, assessment, and SAM self-audits. Beyond merely conducting audits, this process helps organizations regain authority over their software assets and harness the potential to turn inefficiencies into innovative solutions. VeraTrust utilizes a blockchain-based infrastructure to accurately track software license assets between customers and vendors, effectively minimizing audit disputes and compliance challenges. This access to blockchain records not only enhances the visibility of the licensing landscape but also enables the generation of detailed audit reports for thorough evaluation and self-assessment. Ultimately, this approach serves to thwart the occurrence of unanticipated hard audits imposed by software vendors, fostering a more transparent and manageable software compliance environment. By prioritizing effective license management, businesses can also focus on leveraging their software investments to drive growth and innovation.
