Software audits can be unexpected, unwelcome, disruptive and costly. They can also be more common than you might expect. Our international team of compliance and audit defense experts have helped hundreds of organizations around the world deal effectively and efficiently with audit demands from all kinds of software publishers, from Tier One vendors including Oracle, SAP, IBM, Microsoft and Salesforce.com to Tier Two software developers such as Micro Focus, BMC, Tibco, VMware and HP.
We are able to do this because we have some of the industry's most experienced software licensing specialists with in-depth knowledge of specific publishers. Supported by a global team of Data Analysts, Entitlement Managers and negotiation experts, our software licensing specialists are the key to turning what can be a painful audit process into an opportunity to get a better deal from the software publisher.

Our Audit Defense services are available as part of an ongoing SAM Managed Services contract or on a project basis.
