Our Adobe licensing services include audit defense, deployment analysis, contractual review and optimization of your annual renewal.
While Adobe licensing is generally considered one of the simplest amongst the major vendors, the ease of deployment, volume of requests and widespread presence of counterfeit software can pose major problems. Common pitfalls that companies encounter include potential overspend as a result of sprawl and potential risk from counterfeit software installations, often due to inadequate IT Security policies.
Our Adobe licensing experts have a great deal of experience supporting clients with their Adobe licensing needs. We outline some of our core licensing services below, but please feel free to contact us with any query or concern you have – every situation is different and we are very happy to discuss your specific requirements.
Our Adobe ELP service gives you a clear view of your Adobe license position, helping you identify compliance risks, cost savings and optimisation opportunities.
We guide you through the entitlement and deployment data collection process used by auditors, then provide a detailed report covering:
• Your license entitlement position across perpetual licenses and active subscriptions, including relevant contractual clauses and restrictions.
• A comprehensive deployment summary and associated license requirements.
• Identified compliance risks, cost-saving opportunities and recommended mitigation actions.
The findings can be used to reclaim unused licenses, address software sprawl and counterfeit installations, rightsize license volumes or ETLA agreements, and support ETLA certification where required.
Whether you have received a formal Adobe Audit or have been approached by Adobe at the end of your ETLA to certify your license requirements, the process and data requests can seem overwhelming.
Our service aims to help you through this process by:
• Clarifying the requests and the key data points so you are fully comfortable in sharing any requested data and at your own pace
• Ensuring that only the mandatory data points are shared (often the data requests encompass products and data requests beyond the agreed scope)
Verifying any findings and claims made
Independent expertise, market intelligence, and a focus on agreements that protect you well beyond the signing date.
Our independent advice ensures that you do not pay too much for your actual usage, and any non-compliance is reduced as much as possible.
Our advice is all 100% independent of any software providers, meaning that we can quickly assess and subsequently minimize the damage of any hidden non-compliance, all without biases. Get to the bottom of what you owe – if anything.
Nobody wants to pay for too many licenses. Regular assessment from our experts will ensure that you don’t have too many, or too few. We’ll identify optimization opportunities, resulting in a potential reduction of your annual fees.
