Insight:LicenseAdvisor (I:LA)

Insight:LicenseAdvisor (I:LA) has been built by Insight to deliver best in class software management capabilities.

Insight: LicenseAdvisor is flexible, yet secure at the enterprise, group, and user levels. Insight: LicenseAdvisor is not intended to replace any tools already introduced. Instead, Insight: LicenseAdvisor is designed to integrate into existing environments and will considerably add to the value of any Software Asset Management tools already being used.

Overview, Offerings and Benefits

Overview

I:LA is a comprehensive application that helps companies purchase, deploy, and manage software quickly and cost-effectively. Through focusing on entitlement, the most important factor driving every aspect of software management, this tool helps organisations to quickly determine:

  • Who is entitled to purchase a software licence
  • The right media for a licence entitlement
  • How to entitle users, groups and departmental software
  • The best way for users to request entitlement
  • How to manage entitlements going forward


Offerings

I:LA installs on a server behind the corporate firewall, security roles are created and connections are configured to work with the existing employee directory, employee portal, workflow service, and existing deployment tools. Software purchase history and current software licence allocations are loaded into the system.


Benefits

Once I:LA is implemented, you can reduce manual duplication of software, maverick purchases, consolidate licences across offices and division and link entitlement.

When software is purchased and deployed, I:LA makes management of these assets a simpler process:

  • Inventory tools can be linked to purchases and installations
  • Harvesting of licences becomes much easier
  • Flexible, robust approval capabilities
  • Automatic alerts on licence compliancy issues

I:LA oversees every aspect of the software lifecycle, covering initial requests, authorisation, deployment, tracking and procurement. This results in the accurate distribution of software, and a permanent ongoing record of the licences.
