License Dashboard, the Software Asset Management (SAM) technology and services vendor, has today announced an official partnership with Lansweeper, the IT Asset Management company. This new partnership brings together Lansweeper’s full end-to-end discovery technology, covering all platforms, with License Dashboard’s intuitive and automatic software license management tool.
Lansweeper provides IT Asset Management software with a focus on network discovery. It scans the network to create an inventory of all devices including hardware, software, user warranties, and login information, without an agent on a single database. It’s a powerful reporting tool with 400+ built-in reports, allows remote device management, and provides a service desk and knowledge base for servicing its customers.
By combining this information with License Dashboard’s advanced software asset management tool for the first time, IT asset managers will automatically know where they are over or under licensed as well as establish where unused applications can be removed.
License Dashboard Sales Director Sean Robinson said, “In order for organisations to save money on software licensing it is crucial for them to have full visibility of their IT estate first. After all, you cannot reconcile what you can’t see. This is where Lansweeper comes in. They provide their customers with a fantastic network discovery solution that generates a complete view of the software and hardware in operation throughout an organisation.
“License Dashboard’s SAM technology combines this valuable network data with other sources such as Active Directory and our own software dictionary to build a fully manageable IT Asset repository, enabling organisations to save vast sums by preventing over-licensing and ensuring the correct licenses are applied to software products, not forgetting the vital importance of ensuring licensing compliance across a range of vendors.”
Maarten Saeys, Head of Product Marketing, at Lansweeper said, “This partnership is truly ‘1+1=3’. License Dashboard does Software Asset Management like no other where Lansweeper is the leader in terms of IT discovery. We’re bringing two focussed, industry-leading platforms together in a best of breed solution.”
Lansweeper or License Dashboard customers who are interested in combining the two solutions should contact their account manager.
