Software and Licensing Management Solutions

When your software license data is siloed, you hamper your ability to make decisions about its use in your organisation. DXC’s Information Management service module provides centralised visibility into your software footprint for a comprehensive understanding of your software purchases versus their utilisation. DXC provides a custom License Intelligence Hub with consolidated views of your software license agreements, purchases and entitlements. This enables you to get granular views into software usage and deployment across users and devices; delivers insights into usage to identify potential savings; and manages software vulnerability data, prioritised by its criticality.

One example of the value of DXC's comprehensive insights: We enabled a manufacturer to avoid $2,750,000 in duplicate subscription costs through a company divestiture.

DXC’s Software Transactions Management service module delivers a streamlined approach to software acquisition and purchasing with options that include DXC liaising directly with your software vendor(s) and/or reseller(s) to address avoidable delays or deal with other complex issues. When you purchase software through DXC, we provide a self-service SLMS Marketplace platform experience with options for country-specific billing, multicurrency and local invoicing, and withholding tax mitigation.

As an example, DXC saved one financial services customer $70,000 by consolidating 31 separate invoices under one purchase order that addressed all local and in-country taxes and legal requirements, while covering 13,400 separate items.

Poorly managed software purchasing results in wasted spending. DXC enables you to avoid that outcome. Through our IT Standards Management service module, we facilitate alignment with your company's IT standards with personalised user views in our License Intelligence Hub of approved software vendors, licenses and versions for purchase and deployment. In addition, DXC regularly conducts reviews to address the impact of version updates and any unusual requests or use rights. This is crucial for aligning with vendors' terms and identifying risks related to unapproved software usage.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to optimise your agreement renewals. DXC's Lifecycle Management service module drives proactive lifecycle management through our custom License Intelligence Hub for data-driven license renewal preparation intelligence; automated renewal timeline alerts; evaluation of any changes that could potentially impact your company's agreement(s); user-profiling analysis for right-sizing; guidance on agreement, license and pricing options; and support to build a winning vendor negotiation strategy.

As an example, with DXC's astute vendor negotiation support, a life sciences customer saved nearly $15,000,000 on an agreement renewal.

Many enterprises are challenged to get full visibility and control of their Microsoft 365 license environments — including adoption and usage of Copilot for Microsoft 365. DXC’s Microsoft 365 License Management service module provides centralised Microsoft 365 license views with operational efficiency, actionable savings data, improved governance and expert guidance to help you navigate Microsoft 365 suite and licensing options to get the best value. 

For example, DXC’s analysis and optimisation of Microsoft 365 license profiles saved one manufacturer more than $1.8 million over three years.
