As a small or medium-sized business (SMB) owner in Wilmington, NC, we know you're always looking for ways to optimize operations and reduce unnecessary expenses – us too. One often-overlooked area is software licensing. For many SMBs, software licenses are often set and forgotten. However, this "set it and forget it" approach can lead to overprovisioning—paying for more licenses than you actually use—or under provisioning, which can result in compliance issues. Regular audits can help identify these discrepancies, ensuring you're only paying for what you need and use.
Unmanaged or mismanaged software licenses can lead to significant financial waste. For instance, a study by the Ponemon Institute found that organizations conducting regular internal compliance audits had a per capita compliance cost of $154, compared to $341 for those that did not perform such audits. This suggests that regular audits can lead to more efficient license management and cost savings.
