Benefits, Pitfalls & Best Practices
Due to the high cost around initial cloud deployments, many businesses put off software migration to the cloud, which can leave them vulnerable to regulatory retaliation. Coupled with a lack of visibility as to how many licenses they have and where they are, businesses can waste a lot of time and money before deciding to migrate.
BYOL (bring your own license) helps track which existing licenses can be applied to cloud server infrastructure and cloud applications; ultimately saving money while brining businesses into compliance.
The facilitation, deployment, and migration of end user (employees) software licenses at work to reduce cloud software spend reduces risk for enterprises being out of compliance.
Remarkably, many industries do not understand how their existing entitlements can be applied to their current cloud spend.
