We can do more for you than you might expect

Are you struggling to keep on top of all your ongoing software licensing agreements, IT contracts and active licenses? LizenzDirekt would be happy to help: we can perform a comprehensive analysis of your licensing situation and offer a license optimisation service covering the following aspects:

• Technical: we help you with tasks such as performing a technical survey of your systems.
• Commercial: we analyse your product portfolio and advise you as to the most cost-effective product configuration.
• Legal: our partners’ legal experts advise you on how best to design your licensing agreements.

As a result, you can be sure that you are getting the most out of your licenses and IT agreements, and that all your needs are met. In addition to optimising your license collection, we also offer you the opportunity to buy or sell pre-owned software licenses. You can get all this under one roof thanks to LizenzDirekt’s license optimisation service.

We can provide comprehensive advice about IT agreements (software, license quantity, license optimisation) before you even start the process, so you know exactly what you’re buying and don’t end up under- or over-resourced. Our consultation service covers:

• Analysis of your current licensing situation and assessment of the opportunities, risks and options, both for on-premises and cloud solutions
• Evaluation of license models, taking into account price lists, and drawing up of specific purchase recommendations
• Comparison of the legal framework for old and new license models, performed by our partners
• Communication with manufacturers with regard to any questions, conducting of contract negotiations
• Advice on public tenders in compliance with the case law of supreme courts

In order to help them limit the procurement and management costs being run up by their IT department, many companies make use of license packages or volume licenses, which combine multiple usage rights into one license. This type of license must be negotiated with manufacturers and wholesalers, which can complicate the license optimisation process. LizenzDirekt has built up a wide network of traders, manufacturers and distributors, and uses this network to negotiate the best possible terms for your IT agreement (software) and to offer you a reliable license optimisation service.

Specific clauses and individual agreements are often key to achieving successful optimisation in the long term and to saving on costs. That is why you should never settle for negotiating the price alone.

We deal in software – always with your interests at heart.

Over the past 10 years, a growing number of companies, public bodies and organisations have been taking the opportunity to significantly reduce their IT costs by using a mixture of new and pre-owned software.
