Enterprise Software and Licensing
A licence that lapsed and one never used cost the same, and only one shows up in an audit. One calendar across every vendor, with the variance per line.
Your licence position is decided on renewal day and reconstructed from three spreadsheets.
Each OEM renews on its own date, and each renewal is negotiated by whoever is free that week. Nobody holds a single view of what you are entitled to, what is installed and what has been paid for twice. That is not a discipline failure. It is what happens when eight OEMs each own their own calendar.
Where SECCOM stops. An entitlement position is only ever confirmed against the publisher's own records. SECCOM prepares the position, evidences it and represents you in the conversation.
