Deployment Optimisation Services at a glance

Enterprise software licensing can be a minefield for the unprepared organisation. In 2003 the move to the virtualisation of the datacentre added significant complexity to how software was managed and licensed in an enterprise environment. More recently the proliferation of cloud has had a similar impact. At Insight we have chosen to develop deployment optimisation services designed specifically to help our clients with these challenges.
We actively recruit and retain top talent directly from our four focus vendors into our LCS team. Within our consultancy pool we have teammates who have worked in either commercial roles, such as Global Account Directors who understand what the vendor will and will not negotiate on; ranging to teammates who have worked in audit and SAM focused roles, who bring the knowledge and experience of how to truly understand your entitlement and the potential you retain within it.

"Organisations can cut spending on software by as much as 30% by implementing software licence optimisation best practices"

The end result of the LCS Corporate Service offered an equal combination of cost mitigation, confidence of compliance, and flexibility to meet the evolving needs of our business. The savings identified were far beyond our initial expectations.

With Insight's expertise and knowledge we were able to save nearly £140,000. By streamlining our Microsoft licensing process and redeploying existing software licenses that weren't in use, Insight ensured we were both compliant to our software providers and efficient as a local authority.

FAQ's

See our frequently asked questions here, or if you have an alternative query please contact us and a member of the team will be happy to help.

I’ve heard the term ‘shelf-ware’ used before, what does that mean?: Software that you have purchased that you never actually install or use. This is a real problem for organisations today as without the required software licensing expertise, very often new procurements are made rather than simply using existing entitlement to facilitate new projects or business change.
We have a SAM team managing our software deployments and licenses for us, why do we need you?: Our skills and expertise will complement and enhance your SAM team. As we have suggested virtually all of our consultants have been staffed directly from the software publishers and so have a unique level and depth of knowledge that is not easy to find in the SAM recruitment marketplace.
Do I have to purchase software agreements through you to take advantage of your services?: No you do not. Our optimisation services are completely independent of software procurement. Many of our clients have established supply chains for software procurement, you do not need to change that to gain the benefits of working with our team.
