If
we count on the number of software being used in a specific
organization then the count may reach to some hundreds or even
thousands. Maintaining record of each software purchase date, expiry
date, updates etc manually may not be very easy to do. Good Software
management software helps in optimizing the product purchase,
deployment, maintenance, utilization, up gradation and disposal of
software applications at regular intervals within the organization.
Failure
to do so may lead to many issues such as loss of time and money.
Suppose, the system administrator has requested the organization to
buy some fifty licenses of various software that are regularly used
in the office. The head manager places order to purchase the software
license. When the inventory manager checks out these purchased
licenses worth of $2000, he suddenly discovers that out of those
fifty licenses, thirty of them are ordered without any requirement at
all.
This
hampers the growth of organization, leading to loss in productivity
and resources. If the administrator fails to keep updated software,
there are regular crash reports and error messages disturbing
employee’s work. One has to regularly maintain a list of updated
and yet-to-be updated products at timely intervals.
Moreover,
optimizing the software licenses take a lot of time. When there are
hundreds of computers connected in a network, knowing exactly which
software is installed at which computer and its update status is not
only difficult but also impossible. Either the administrator would
miss out some software all together or he may miss out their updated
status. At the employee’s end, they are more satisfied to work in
an organization where software are up-to-date and running giving
least errors and problems.
Manual
record keeping and managing the updates of each software separately
takes more time and energy. Hence, third party software is preferred.
