Augment your software asset management strategy with advanced software usage metering
Not all usage data is helpful. Only advanced, second by second usage metering exposes cost savings that would have previously remained hidden. This level of analysis of application activity and the nature of human interaction with those applications, is the only way to understand what software is really needed at the endpoint.
Gaming of license token management systems, applications that automatically launch when booting the device, over provisioning of entitlements etc. all incur unnecessary expense that can be quickly cut, once the active usage data is available.
