License Management: Static Recording is not enough

Written by CB on Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 at 4:14 am and filed under GRC, Governance and Compliance, IT Asset Management, Software Asset Management, Software Asset Optimization, Software License Compliance.

Software License Management for Compliance
Organizations which have successfully tackled the challenges of accurate software inventory often turn their attentions to getting to grips with the wide range of license documents they hold. For compliance, the fundamental question at any point in time is – “Have we got enough documented entitlement to cover the number of [...]

Software License Compliance - is it part of IT GRC?

Written by CB on Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 at 7:41 am and filed under GRC, Governance and Compliance, Software Asset Management, Software Asset Optimization, Software License Compliance.

I’ve been exploring a very informative article on IT Audit techniques by Robert E Davis. It dives into a level of sophistication around the choices of testing methodologies that I am naive in, so kept me occupied for more than the regulation one mug of coffee per blog read. It also gave me a link [...]

Forrester Survey on Software License Audits

Written by CB on Monday, November 23rd, 2009 at 5:29 pm and filed under Asset Discovery, GRC, Governance and Compliance, IT Asset Management, Software Asset Management, Software Asset Optimization, Software License Compliance.

They promise to share their results, which will include measures taken to deal with out-of-compliance situations. I hope they’ll make it available to a larger [...]

Written by CB on Thursday, October 8th, 2009 at 3:33 pm and filed under GRC, Governance and Compliance, IT Asset Management, Software Asset Management, Software Asset Optimization, Software License Compliance.

It’s been my pleasure today to be talking with Jeff Gordon who runs a Web site dedicated to helping organizations understand the licenses to the software that they use, and encouraging them to take a more pro-active stance in negotiating with their software suppliers.  I must be nuts to be publicising this, because the thought of [...]

What do you do when you have just lost 75,000 customer details?

Written by CB on Friday, June 19th, 2009 at 10:51 am and filed under Business Process Management, GRC, Governance and Compliance, IT Asset Management, IT Asset Security, Issue Tracking.

So, here we are again, this time with 75,000 customers’ details out there somewhere. Could it have been prevented? If RFID tags had been attached, would the laptops have conveniently been taken past a sensor station - or did they leave through a point of forced entry anyway?  
What is particularly interesting here is the decision process that [...]
