Intelligent Asset Management
With increasing pressure on organisations to take control of their software assets and the continued fear of vendor audits, there has never been a greater need for Software Asset Management; not only to do it but to do it well and take advantage of the many benefits that can be gained from it.
Q Intelligent Asset Management (Q-IAM) is a managed service covering all aspects of Software Asset Management. Whether facing a vendor audit, a True-up, cost cutting or simply wanting control, Q Associates offer an award-winning Software Asset Management solution. It provides clients with solutions to help their organisation move beyond merely discovering installed software to being able to identify areas to not only mitigate risk and drive significant cost savings but to stay in control of IT spend.
A complete solution for software asset management (SAM) and software compliance
Many organisations have invested in the technology to discover the software in their environment, but lack the ability to reconcile usage with their contracts and licences, leaving them exposed to vendor audits, as well as missing the opportunity to reduce costs through better management and recycling of surplus software licences.

This means no excessive installation costs, resources are freed up and the time taken to get meaningful results is vastly reduced. A powerful rules engine automates compliance and delivers accurate results for even the most complex vendors such as IBM and Oracle. ComplianceConsole’s configurable dashboard provides the ability to drill down from a top-level reporting view, to individual machines allowing complete visibility to aid decision-making.
