IBM Licensing Services, Delivered by our Team of Experts.
Canyon Consulting is a premier provider of IBM software licensing services identifying and minimizing potential compliance risks, reducing costs dramatically in formal software compliance audits, and keeping their companies compliant over time.
Pre-Audit Software Licensing Assessments
Designed to assist clients in identifying licensing gaps, planning for remediation, and lowering costs. Companies need to be pro-active in preparing their software licensing to manage the business risk of non-compliance.
License Optimization
Implements our unique process to reduce costs, complexity, and risk--often through the renewal process; and increase strategic use of existing products to support savings and clients' business objectives.
Audit Response & Defense
An audit can be very costly in terms of time, resources, and financial impact. Canyon assists in development of the audit response, gets to the bottom of what is really noncompliant, and develops counterarguments to defend your position against auditor findings.
ILMT Installation, Upgrades, & Ongoing Services
If IBM software is deployed in virtualized environments, the installation and use of ILMT is a contractually mandated tool for sub-capacity pricing. We provide all aspects of ILMT deployment including planning, installing, configuring, and upgrading the tool. We provide all services to keep ILMT current, running, and reporting as required by IBM.
Health Checks
Support adherence to plans for licensing optimization and cost reduction, periodically checking for increased operational efficiencies, lower licensing costs, improvements for effective license management, and identification and financial awareness of potential license gaps.
Annual License Management
Publishers are constantly changing their licensing agreements, acquiring software companies, changing bundles and deployment options; however, these subtle changes are often overlooked. Canyon Consulting will keep your business informed to help you stay ahead of the curve.
