You’ve invested in a tool to help you with Software Asset Management (such as Flexera, Snow, or ServiceNow SAM Pro) and your team is having a hard time getting an accurate picture of your SQL Licensing position. You ask yourself: How do I use the tool to it’s fullest potential? Can I get the data from the tool? Is the data I get even accurate? What best practices do I need to know? How should my team leverage that SAM Tool to decrease SQL Licensing costs?
You may be using spreadsheets to keep track of SQL Servers, or maybe you purchase licenses based on individual project requirements, but you’re not sure if you’re licensed correctly. Maybe you are concerned that Microsoft is going to audit you or afraid of the impact on your IT budget of a potentially big true-up? Not even sure of what data you need to collect or where to start to figure out SQL Server Licenses?
MetrixData 360 has created tools that we use in our practice to help some of the largest organizations in the world effectively manage their SQL Server Licenses. We provide instructions and a video library to effectively collect the data required to create an Effective License Position (ELP) for SQL Server. MetrixData 360’s licensing experts will review internally generated SQL License Positions and provide a detailed analysis and feedback so updated reporting can be generated quickly and efficiently with confidence in the future.
Let us do it for you! We take all the hard work off your plate, simply run a couple of reports out of existing inventory tools and leave the rest up to the licensing experts at MetrixData 360. These self-assessments can run anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on how complicated your environment is and how challenging your inventory data is. At the end of the engagement, you will receive a full report on your SQL Server environment and a license position so that you know exactly where you sit with SQL Licensing.
You have already invested in a SAM Tool, but you either can’t make the SQL Server reports work (not uncommon) or you don’t trust that the data is giving you a complete picture. Let our team train you on how to do this. We have worked with all the major SAM Tools in the market and can help your team make your tool work as intended. This may be accomplished simply by accurately configuring your tool or supplementing it with some of our in-house developed SQL Licensing toolsets.
Not correctly sizing instances to move to the cloud is one of the single biggest mistakes we see companies make. Over sizing your instances on either Azure or AWS could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in wasted spend year over year. We have developed a proprietary offering in partnership with Densify. The service will assist in sizing instances as you move from on-premise to the cloud, as well as monitoring these once you are in the cloud to ensure you have visual reporting on cloud expenditures and that they are optimized accordingly.
