In India, 58 percent of the software installed on computers is not properly licensed, according to BSA’s survey titled ‘Seizing Opportunity through License Compliance - 2016’. Many companies are starting on the journey to license their software but finding it difficult to deal with multiple audit requests and consider them as waste of time and non-productive & non-revenue generating activities. As a consequence, several organizations are taking a look at Software Asset Management (ITAM) services as a way to meet these challenges and more quickly achieve the desired business outcomes.

Bangalore-based XORISK Consulting LLP renders a range of software license optimization managed services, including ITAM, License risk management, Solution advisory, SAM process assessment and Audit Advisory & Support that showcase businesses what all software is to be used & licensed, are shelf-ware & at risk of compliance, cost & lifecycle, RoI on software investment, and reclaim/optimization of licenses. “We call ourselves as 'The SAM Maze Runner' who knows all the loopholes, tactics, and contracts.
Our knowledge combined with our experience make us the best bet that any organization can take, if they want to solve their licensing chaos. XORISK’s aim is to 'Kill the Licensing Chaos' and make life simpler for the clients,” professes Uttam Kumar, Managing Partner, XORISK consulting.
