Establish your Effective License Position (ELP), negotiate a better contract and protect from audits.
As a leading Computer Aided Design (CAD) software provider, Autodesk products are seen in most IT estates.
However, keeping up with Autodesk’s rapidly changing product portfolio and licensing principles is incredibly difficult – that’s why we recommend talking to ITAA’s Autodesk specialists.
We’ve been helping clients with their Autodesk licenses and optimization for years. We know exactly what you need to do to ensure compliance and optimize your licenses.
Every situation is different. Our consultants are here to help.
Autodesk procurement and deployment is often disjointed across an organization.
This can often lead to multiple contracts and licenses with potentially conflicting terms, pricing and restrictions.
The constant changes in Autodesk’s licensing process only exacerbates this issue.
Our consultants can alleviate this confusion by sifting through all of your agreements, contracts and purchase orders. We will:
• Create a clear baseline of entitlement split across various territory restrictions
• Identify any inconsistencies between your contracts and purchases
Our ELP service aims to help you understand your Autodesk environment. Our detailed process will guide you through the data collection to accurately determine your license requirements and compliance against the licenses you’ve procured. Through this process you will be able to identify:
• Any potential risk from incorrect license key management
• Any counterfeit/piracy risks
• A comprehensive breakdown of how Autodesk products are used across your estate
• Areas of over- or under-licensing
This service will help you plan for any upcoming renewals or future purchases.
Similar to many CAD vendors, one of the primary focuses of Autodesk audits is to crack down on potential counterfeit software deployments.
However, just because you have received an audit notification does not necessarily mean that there are definitive counterfeit instances within your estate.
We’ll guide & advise you throughout the audit process, verifying Autodesk’s findings, ensuring that you’re never overcharged, and minimizing any potential settlements.
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.
