Corporate restructuring of all types involves reviewing, consolidating and adapting numerous contracts and agreements. In order to identify, avoid and rectify costly under- or over-licensing, existing agreements must be constantly adapted. This applies in particular to long-term commitments such as software licensing, hardware maintenance, software support and carrier agreements. Our market knowledge and experience help you identify and avoid risks as well as realize opportunities and synergies. <\/p>\n
A practical example of the key phases of software license management is illustrated below:<\/p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Contract portfolio creation<\/b>
according to set criteria on a system (metadata, full text)<\/p>\n
Contract analysis<\/b>
according to commercial, technical and legal frameworks<\/p>\n
Process analysis<\/b>
for contract generation and contract management<\/p>\n
Contract management<\/b> The specifications and timing for each individual phase are defined with the aim of optimizing the costs and risks of all contracts and making them transparent. The costs of each service should always be clear, as should the cost structure for scaling the system or the platform. In addition, requirements such as investment protection, flexibility (e.g. transferring or outsourcing a system, cancelling partial performances), transparency of scope and the rates for each partial performance as well as clarity over the consequences of dissolving the contract are important points that must be set out in a contract. Particular attention should be paid to the licensing model and pricing (non-recurring and recurring costs, additional user and traffic costs, differentiation between hardware and software maintenance, etc.) as well as usage rights. Depending on the scope of the project, conceptual issues must be resolved or contract templates adapted to your business processes. Your contracts thus turn into actual management tools. <\/p>\n License management can be implemented throughout the entire company or be aimed at specifically consolidating strategic supplier and customer relations. The approach taken by Tel Advice is the same in both cases and has proven very effective.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
