FNT Command Software Management

Enterprise-wide management of software products and licenses for complete transparency into IT costs and relationships throughout your organization

Creating an end-to-end software management process is a very challenging task because the delivery of IT services, applications, and software installations within an organization must be planned and implemented in the context of the wider IT infrastructure. The task is complicated by issues relating to the permissible combinations of software releases and the use of existing licenses. To ensure reliable operation of the relevant IT systems, it is also important to have information on the required infrastructure and on scenario planning, e.g., with regard to safeguards against system failure.

FNT Command Software Management allows complete and comprehensive documentation of all deployed and existing software installations and applications throughout your organization, including the necessary licenses. The ability to view all information in an integrated data model means you can cater more effectively to specific business needs when deploying business applications and software installations. You can also use this information when planning the provision of IT services, for cost and pricing calculations, and to deliver the legal certainty required by IT managers during license audits.
