Software vendors have, over time, constructed ever more complex licensing models in order that enterprises have little option but to agree the terms they are dealt. And yet with this enormous contractual complexity comes the opportunity for every enterprise to leverage significant savings.

By harnessing the very mechanics inherent in today’s software licensing agreements, Hammonds Consultancy can help you reduce the cost of software licensing.

Hammond Consultancy specialise in the benchmarking of software licensing agreements. We also have a thorough understanding of hardware platforms, local and global bid mechanics, as well as sometimes hidden cash back opportunities. This knowledge helps to maximise virtualisation, processor and socket options to find savings when software is associated with hardware.

We are able to assist in the negotiation of new licenses, help in the renegotiation of enterprise agreements, extract maximum value from mid-term true-ups and restructure existing agreements.

Hammonds Consultancy can reduce the cost of ad-hoc software purchasing and in the negotiation and structuring of on-going software maintenance agreements.
