Software Asset Management
Software assets don’t manage themselves and an audit tool won’t manage them for you.
Knowing what software you have and what you should have requires people who understand licensing and are able to reconcile all the data to deliver a single unambiguous report.
Our fully managed service delivers this with costs typically less than those associated with buying a good inventory tool.
Liken provide proprietary software tools to facilitate these processes but also interface with and enhance 
the output of industry leading software including SMS and Altiris.
We recognise that integration of processes and data is crucial in any best practice undertaking and our approach is based on centralising and presenting information in the format to meet your requirements.Our services are ITIL and risk management focused and designed to comply with the most stringent Information security and IT service management standards including ISOs 19770,17799,20000.
