This program comprises a mix of free-of-charge and paid-for engagements, on-site and remote projects. All PoCs are carefully managed by a nominated License Dashboard professional and are delivered in accordance with best practices around Software Asset Management (SAM) and licensing.

Qualification CriteriaDelivery of a PoC to a customer carries an inevitable cost to License Dashboard. While we are happy to bear the majority of this overhead, we do ask that customers who wish to engage in a PoC project meet the following criteria:

Approval has been given at senior management level to seek a SAM or licensing solution

Budget has been allocated or is available to fund the purchase of the preferred solution

There is an established timescale to purchase and implement a solution or service

Prerequisites Each of the following PoC options carries its own prerequisites. It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure they are able and happy to meet these requirements. Before any PoC engagement starts, a 30-minute briefing call will be held between the customer and the License Dashboard PoC consultant. The full project checklist will be discussed during this call.

CostsThere are essentially three cost options, depending on the style of PoC chosen by the prospect: free of charge, fixed fee or bespoke. License Dashboard will confirm before the start of a PoC what costs will be involved. Where a charge is levied for the delivery of a PoC, a rebate will be offered to the customer on subsequent purchase of a solution and/or service. �

PROOF OF CONCEPT PROGRAM

LICENSE MANAGER

For a fast and easy demonstration of how License Manager can take raw audit data and present this in a clear and concise way that is optimized for managing software licenses, the Express PoC is an ideal offering that is free-of-charge*.

This option (also free-of-charge) is similar to the Audit Only PoC but enables a customer to witness how easily Microsoft Licensing Statements can be imported into the License Manager interface, with automatic recognition and validation of the associated entitlements.

Demonstrable Benefits: Customer will see how License Manager

takes ‘noisy’ audit data and automatically creates recognizable licensing information

Customer will be shown how cleansed data can be reconciled against license entitlements

Customer will witness in real-time the process and speed of importing an MLS, together with an understanding of the automated application of licensing intelligence

For organizations that require a very specific Proof of Concept, possibly including software vendors not covered above or looking at licensing on a portion of the server estate, License Dashboard is pleased to offer bespoke options. Working closely with the customer, License Dashboard professionals will identify the key areas of concern, the available resources and the desired outcomes of the PoC.

The cost of the project will be calculated directly from the initial scoping exercise and the customer will review and approve a fully-documented project plan prior to starting the PoC.

3. SINGLE VENDOR REVIEW - DESKTOP CHARGEABLE

Organizations that want a more in-depth evaluation of the capabilities of License Manager can opt for a paid-for Single Vendor Review on a maximum of 500 desktops (we recommend these are within a common location or Business Unit). Software vendors qualifying for this PoC option comprise Symantec, Adobe, Autodesk (other vendors are subject to additional charges).

This option requires the customer to provide License Dashboard with both an extract of the inventory database (via the appropriate License Dashboard connector) and also approved vendor consumption data.

The charge for this PoC starts at UK £3,980 / US $6,700 / EU €4,780 (the price may vary depending on the customer’s exact requirements, this will be confirmed before any work starts). Should the customer proceed to purchase (solution or service), a discount worth 30% of the PoC cost will be applied to the license price.
