Enhance IBM software license management through the ability to discover IBM software using ServiceNow Discovery and connect to Elevate to help classify the discovered IBM software to the appropriate software entitlement for proper measurement of the IBM software within your environment.
For customers under IBM Authorized SAM Partner (IASP) program with Anglepoint, utilize ServiceNow to help discover, monitor, and report on IBM sub-capacity deployments without the need to use the IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT) or BigFix Inventory (BFI) adapter. Customers should consult Anglepoint and IBM regarding their contractual requirements prior to use.
IBM Licensing for Software Asset Management provides the ability to extend ServiceNow's Discovery to capture IBM Software and to normalize the software utilizing Anglepoint's Elevate platform.
Come see how Anglepoint can make the world of Software Asset Management (SAM) better for you.
