Build a winning audit defense
Prepare for audits with a full view of all your technology assets, entitlements and agreements. Snow can determine your effective license position for every software title and vendor, across client and datacenter devices, SaaS titles and mobile devices. You’ll know exactly where you stand at all times, and you’ll be fully prepared for any audit.
Keep technology assets compliant
Snow automatically calculates the compliance position for all of your software, including complex data center titles which may be virtual or physical and rely upon processor-based or processor-core-based metrics for licensing. Using Snow, you can even track license entitlements against usage in public cloud platforms, which can help you reduce your audit risk.
Be proactive in vendor negotiations
Quickly and easily identify opportunities to better negotiate licenses or spend with vendors. Thanks to Snow’s Data Intelligence Service, the industry’s largest managed normalization database with more than 750,000 software applications, your assets are identified and normalized, making it easy to spot where you have license or spend liabilities.
The bill after our first audit having implemented Snow was driven down from over half a million dollars to zero.
