Key services

Audit Defense

Software vendors, such as IBM, SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft, periodically conduct external audits, a process that can often be invasive and time consuming.

Audits are conducted to identify license non-compliance within your organization. Should any areas be found you could be issued with non-compliance claims, many of which can cost your organization millions.
