TIBCO Licensing Services
TIBCO contract review
TIBCO’s numerous acquisitions and long history often result in multiple agreements, addendums and order forms for clients with a long-term relationship with the vendor. This often leads to confusions around which licenses are valid, which terms apply and what happens in the event of contractual conflicts.
Due to the cost of TIBCO software, proper management of TIBCO agreements is imperative and our service aims to support you with this by providing:
• A clear baseline of valid entitlement, whether legacy or current, and a clear trail of any license migrations/transitions
• A breakdown of the applicable terms and conditions (in many cases for TIBCO, the legacy terms within contracts will prevail over current licensing rules)
• Any contradictions within the documentation and suggestions as to how to resolve the matter
TIBCO Effective License Position (ELP)
We will guide you through the various data collection phases, explaining the metrics, data requirements and ambiguities that arise in order to improve your understanding of your TIBCO licensing requirements.
During our TIBCO ELP service, we will conduct an in-depth contract review alongside a thorough data analysis of the relevant data points to provide a comprehensive ELP that details the following:
• The license compliance of the various TIBCO products in your estate
• Any notable risk areas and potential mitigation activities to resolve these items
• A set of collateral detailing the outstanding data ambiguities, the follow up investigation steps required and the impacts of these items on your compliance position
TIBCO audit support
TIBCO has an active audit program, predominantly utilizing third-party organizations to perform the audit. The complexities in the licensing and agreement structures often lead to assumptions and ambiguities, so it is essential to scrutinize any scoping, data requests and claims made by the auditors.
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 the scope and the requests made are in line with the contractual requirements
• Ensuring that only the mandatory data points are shared
• Verifying the findings and claims made
