Software Licensing Audit Professionals:

Canyon Consulting provides thought leadership, software product knowledge, licensing audit experience, and a knowledge base that is used to help clients prepare for and respond to vendor software licensing audits. In addition, we offer Software Asset Management (SAM) services.
 

Whether it is a Pre-Audit Software Licensing Assessment or a Software Licensing Audit Defense project, our methodology is based on the same principles. 

Projects are broken down in to three phases: 
•Data Collection-  discovery of a vendors licensing contracts, renewal agreements, purchasing history, server and desktop/laptop inventory, SAM tool usage if any, and where a vendors software is deployed in your environment.

 
•Data Validation- creation of a worksheet that captures what software is deployed, where it is deployed, how many licenses of each product is installed, and a comparison chart on what your software licensing allows you to deploy.


•Remediation or Settlement-  gap analysis is performed, an associated financial cost is determined for any gaps, recommendations from Canyon Consulting on potential ways to remediate those costs, and a strategy to settle with the vendor if it is in fact an official audit.
