Internal Software Audit

Quantify and mitigate your software compliance risk with BLC's Software Audit service
Home / Internal Software Audit

Internal software audits are important for any business and will help you stay ahead of costly compliance issues. Yes, an audit is a lot of work - but we do the heavy lifting for you. At the end of the audit, you will be able to reduce financial risk empowered by knowing your Enterprise License Position and having the tools and strategies to reduce fiscal exposure.

Knowing your Enterprise License Position gives you an advantage

Software vendors look for reasons to demand an audit of your environment. Audits boost their revenue and expedite agreements that promote new product adoption.

When a business has command of their license position and can demonstrate well-documented evidence, vendors are less interested in investing time and retaining an expensive audit firm, because the audit is unlikely to make their investment worthwhile.

An Internal Software Audit puts you in control

80% of vendor audits find compliance issues that result in financial penalties. BLC has found that accidental deployments, virtualization, hardware changes and other day-to-day activities result in extensive licensing issues with material economic impact.

These issues can go unnoticed for months or even years. An internal software audit identifies issues and offers mitigation plans that minimize financial exposure.
