ISO 19770 Process Compliance

Are you ready?

Software license audits may be business-as-usual for software vendors – but for the companies responding to those audits they are costly in terms of both time and money. Gartner estimates vendors target US$400k+ per audit. The cost of an audit and the associated liability are unbudgeted, unpredictable costs that carry with them the greater danger of reputational damage.
Implementing industry-standard processes – such as the ISO 19770 standard for Software Asset Management – can help you avoid this pain. Even better, becoming certified to follow these processes can reduce your chances of receiving audit requests from vendors.

With the ISO 19770 Process Certification, 1E assesses an organization’s current Software Asset Management processes against these standards, identify any gaps, develop action plans to fill them and certify them as compliant with the ISO standard. We have three of the authors and co-editors of these standards on our team – so our expertise comes straight from the source.

Certification against the standard for ITAM

Certify an organization’s existing ITAM processes against the industry standard. Get clear action plans and template policies and procedure documentation to close identified gaps.

Reduce the cost of software license audits

By ensuring best practice ITAM processes, audit response becomes automated and predictable with low cost impact.

Start at the top

Successful SAM needs senior IT executive support. The benefits are tangible risk and cost reduction. The goal is to leverage existing tooling and process wherever possible. Where changes are required, our experts can provide support and guidance, but executive sponsorship is critical.

Reduce the risk of audits happening in the first place

Certification of processes against the ISO 19770-1 standard can reduce the likelihood of license audit even happening.
