“Give yourself a game you can win. If you can't manage it don't sign it.”
• Unmanageable license programs – Choices:
1. Do Nothing 2. Vote with your feet 3. Contain it / Manage it 4. Change the agreement
How do we address these changes?

“80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population”
“50% of Vendors constituted only 1% of spend… top 20 vendors presented 80% of spend…” - Anthony Porter, Electronic Arts (At UK Gartner ITAM Conference)
