Many mid-size organizations are facing the challenge of managing and optimizing the licensing for their desktop environments. The goals are to maintain license compliance/reduce audit risk, maximize utilization of assets, and control costs. Today, that typically means managing mostly on-premises software, with some Software as a Service (SaaS) applications thrown into the mix. And, of course, managing Microsoft licensing and contracts is the number one challenge. Going forward, many organizations are planning on making the move to the cloud and Office 365. What does it take to be ready?
