IBM Software License Optimization

License and cloud optimization, providing insights into your IBM environment. Save on licensing costs and protect yourself from IBM audits.

IBM software licensing

IBM is one of the most complex software vendors to manage license compliance, due to its large portfolio of software products and wide variety of license metrics. Although IBM is traditionally known for mainframe software, the majority of IBM software sales are for on-premise software, as well as cloud and SaaS products.

Well-known IBM software brands include WebSphere, Tivoli, DB2, Cognos, Maximo, Watson, Rational, Informix, FileNet, InfoSphere and TRIRIGA.

Frequent software acquisitions, divestments and product name changes make IBM license compliance a constantly moving target. We have deep technical, licensing and audit knowledge for the full breadth of the IBM software portfolio and the experience to manage any IBM licensing challenge. All of our advice comes from 100% independent consultants, meaning that our only concern is meeting your best interests.
