Worldwide, businesses spent $352 billion (USD) on enterprise software in 2017. If your company is paying a monthly or annual fee for software as a service (SaaS) or desktop applications, on a per-user basis, it makes sense to buy only those licenses you truly need. Sapience for software asset management identifies which members of your company are using specific software services. Some software providers structure fees based on how often software is accessed, and which features are used—so Sapience gathers this data as well. With our IT asset management tools, you can easily see how much time employees spend in each program, making it easier to plan for and control software costs.
