Organizations are always looking for more efficient and cost-effective ways to manage their assets. The continued growth of disruptive technologies in the environment makes handling assets a major challenge on a good day. And the need to address changes quickly exacerbates the issue.
Many workers have recently transitioned to working remotely; this adds complexity to the task of effectively monitoring the use of software and SaaS applications. The volume of requests to scale usage up and down is increasing. The reaction to these changes and requests must be swift because time is of the essence. In addition to utilization, organizations must monitor their responses to these requests because the fulfillment of them impacts the terms and conditions of their licenses. And organizations must also remain in compliance based on their entitlements.
