Vendor Centric "True-Up" Reviews

Many enterprise level software license agreements, such as Microsoft’s Enterprise Agreement (EA), include provisions for a periodic (usually annual) “true-up”. Those agreements allow the customer to add additional copies of the licensed products as needed to accommodate growth. At the end of each period the customer must complete a “true-up” reporting the actual number of copies of the licensed product in use at the time of the true-up. The EA is then adjusted to reflect the new number of copies and a payment is made for the additional copies.

Dvergence Corporation offers low-cost True-Up Reviews, which offer significant value over simply reporting copies added since the last true-up:

• Focused inventory analysis for a single or multiple vendor
  
  
• The True-Up Review not only considers the number of copies deployed, but the actual number being used
  
  
• Opportunity to reduce the cost of the true-up by removing unused copies and reducing the number of new licenses needed
  
  
• Identifies opportunities for adjusting use, including substituting free reader software for products being used only to read documents, replacing infrequently used workstations with multiple use workstations
  
  
• Documents actual deployment and use, preventing disagreements with reported numbers
