Manage software licensing costs strategically through license audits, BYOL programs, and compliance optimization. Reduce your overall AWS expenditure without compromising functionality.
Software licensing represents one of the largest controllable expenses in cloud deployments, yet many organizations lack visibility into their licensing usage and compliance. Third-party software costs—particularly for applications like Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and other enterprise solutions—can quickly spiral when running on AWS, especially if not optimized for cloud consumption models.
Effective license management directly impacts your profitability and operational compliance
Reduce software licensing expenses by 20-50% through strategic optimization and BYOL adoption.
Maintain compliance with licensing agreements and avoid costly audit penalties.
Gain complete insights into license usage, allocation, and efficiency across your infrastructure.
Scale your infrastructure while maintaining predictable licensing costs.
Assess Current Usage and Compliance
Conduct thorough audits of all software licenses to understand current usage patterns, compliance status, and optimization opportunities. Identify licenses that are over-provisioned, underutilized, or not aligned with actual business needs.
Leverage Existing Licenses on AWS
BYOL allows you to use existing software licenses on AWS infrastructure, often at significantly lower costs than AWS-provided licenses. Major vendors including Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and others offer BYOL programs with substantial savings.
Optimize Through Strategic Planning
Proactively manage license lifecycle from procurement through renewal. Plan for optimal license types, consolidate redundant licenses, and negotiate better terms during renewal periods.
