Vendor Audit

In a tough economy, software vendors look to the existing customer base to wring out more top line dollars. At some software companies, audit represents 30% of the growth in “sales”, even if the software usage was accidentally or mistakenly installed. Protect yourself with BDNA.

The BDNA Vendor Audit Solution helps you create and maintain a comprehensive picture of your software inventory to be ready for the next vendor audit. Leveraging BDNA Normalize and your existing Microsoft Systems Center Configuration Management (SCCM) deployment, you can quickly generate a clear picture of your deployments and negotiate from a position of strength.

Tapping into BDNA Technopedia, BDNA Normalize not only normalizes all software products, but also provides non-discoverable market data, such as end-of-life dates, current support level and Windows 7 compatibility, to keep position you to make smart decision before the next audit.
