Linium: Enterprise Asset Management Made Easy
Dave Howard, CIOMany organizations lack control over their enterprise assets. “It is not a matter of whether your organization gets audited; it’s a question of when. When it does, the reality is will the organization be prepared to respond to the audit and secondly, will the organization pass the audit?

Understanding the competitive market, Linium employs its better, faster, cheaper mentality as it relates to developing its solutions. “Organizations leverage our rapid deployment and cloud-based solutions to take control of both IT and software assets, resulting in reduced risk and lower costs by understanding your inventory.”

In one instance, a software audit prompted a global manufacturing firm to enlist Linium’s help to better understand and assess the cost and tracking abilities of their software and license asset management. The firm acknowledged that the amount of money spent on software purchases was out of control and needed to avoid future costly penalties. The firm enlisted Linium’s help to prove that they could self-fund all of their next steps in their business plan. Part of this was helping to diminish their financial cost, and another part was Linium uncovering that they were improperly taxed. As a result of the assessment, Linium identified $3M in cost recovery opportunities and $16M in cost avoidance in software licenses.
