Survey from Scalable Software is an IT Asset Lifecycle Management solution that provides detailed, comprehensive real usage information for the IT assets in your environment.

Using Survey, it’s possible to accurately identify unused and under-utilized hardware and software assets, and reduce IT spending by eliminating unnecessary maintenance obligations, reallocating existing software licenses, reducing annual true-up costs, and cutting back on support needs.

Survey also aids in risk management, as it identifies areas of non-compliance with license agreements that can leave your company liable for huge unplanned software purchase costs and fines.

Survey’s asset intelligence provides a business view of the computer systems and software that are installed in your organization. The IT asset usage reports provide the insight organizations need to work proactively with the IT and purchasing departments to:

• Stop the over-buying of software licenses
• Remove the cost burden of maintaining and supporting under-utilized software and hardware
• Gain fair value from annual software license reviews and “true-up” negotiations
• Reallocate unused or under-utilized software instead of buying additional licenses
• Replace full versions of software titles with read-only versions for users using the software in that capacity
• Achieve accurate compliance with vendor licensing and eliminate potential liability
• Accurately plan your IT budget for the next year and forecast future budget needs
• Plan the strategic migration of new operating systems, applications
