Mountain View, Calif. – Nov. 10, 2009 – BDNA, the leading provider of agentless IT inventory solutions, today announced it will host a free webinar titled “Mistakes & Pitfalls: Getting Software Compliant and How to Avoid Them,” on Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2009 at 8:30 a.m. PDT/ 11:30 a.m. EDT. This second in a series of webinars by BDNA on software license compliance best practices will provide invaluable insight to any IT organization that is currently preparing for a software audit or is concerned about being software compliant.
According to KMPG LLP research on software asset management maturity, 86 percent of the respondents indicated they do not have complete and accurate information to effectively manage their IT environment. Fueled by today’s slumping economy, auditing by major software publishers is expected to increase dramatically in the New Year and enterprises can’t afford to put off cataloguing the full extent of their internal assets and license detail and risk the significant financial penalties that come with non-compliance.
