The legacy nature of the System z environment can generate situations where many installed software products are delivering duplicate or redundant function and where some products are installed but no longer in productive use.
The implications arising from this situation are, first, your company is likely to be paying for software which is not required and second, your company could be in legal breach of vendor contracts by having software installed on production systems with no corresponding licence.
Further, the rate of change in the software industry is rapid with new offerings constantly becoming available. In many cases these new offerings can deliver higher value to your business at a lower cost than existing installed products.
Regularly reviewing your System z software portfolio could therefore be a profitable exercise. However, because IT staff are under constant pressure to deliver new capabilities to the business they cannot afford the time out to conduct this kind of review.
Many RSM customers are in this situation and in response to this we have developed a set of modular offerings designed to help customers identify and more importantly, capture the financial benefits of reorganising their System z software portfolio.
The RSM Partners Software Portfolio Review is the entry point for customers looking to reduce the operating costs of their System z software portfolio. Understanding that installations vary in complexity RSM Partners offers two levels of the Software Portfolio Review – with each level having a manual or automated tool based option for gathering key information.
