STAY COMPLIANT AND BUILD AUDIT DEFENSE
Snow Software automatically calculates compliance positions, even for complex data center titles which may be virtual or physical. Snow is used to track license entitlements against usage in public cloud platforms to reduce audit risk. Snow License Manager can also help determine an organization's effective license position, and displays technology assets, entitlements and agreements, to support audit preparedness.
OPTIMIZE YOUR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS
Snow License Manager automatically identifies unused cloud subscriptions and software installations to optimize an organization's license or subscription level, uninstall and harvest licenses. With immediate insight into total investment, compliance risk and overspend for either a single application or the whole product family, users can see license optimization opportunities and take action to reduce costs.

Snow License Manager, buy it, use it
A way to see and inventory IT Assets globally. Be able to respond to audits and maintain software compliance. Snow data has also helped with multiple IT projects for upgrading or refreshing hardware.
- Maintain Inventory Data
- Global view of IT asset
- Integration with other systems, like ServiceNow. There are connectors but takes a bit of manipulation to get the data to line up.
- Software Usage
- One portal for all data
- Agility during audits to prove compliance, saves license gap costs
- Total view of hardware in order to maintain lifecycle for refresh

Snow License Manager, does exactly what it says on the box.
I use Snow License Manager for many tasks, but it's main use is what is was designed for Software Asset Management, we keep all of our Contracts, license agreements, subscriptions, license keys, etc. in Snow License Manager and then allow the tool to do it's work and report to us on our compliance position. But the data from Snow License Manager is so rich that we also complete many other tasks on a daily basis with this data, such as identifying unauthorised software installations and getting them removed, or reporting on failed services after an application update, or reporting on firmware versions installed across the network, or...
- Auto calculates compliance, we have a process in place to package new software and as such we check that Snow License Manager understand how to license the software, doing this small piece of work at the start of an application deployment means that Snow License Manager can report on our compliance accurately, and to be completely honest the changes we have to make are few, as the Snow License Manager team does a great job adding these in to Snow License Manager automatically.
- Recognise Software Applications to the right licensing level, again this work is completed by Snow License Manager in the background, but know when an application support and maintenance allows you to have free upgrades or not, or when specific applications go end of life, is vital data on top of recognizing the application itself.
- Being able to read all of the data collated from the front end rather then having to access the back end services, would help save me time and effort, but I understand that this would not be something that all users would want.
- A better way of sharing and managing reports. The current system means that a single change to a spelling could create a new folder, and that folder do not have permissions to share reports but individual reports all have to have permissions added, so a new user starting means I have to open and add that individual to 50+ reports. If there were sharing Groups this would make a difference in time saving.
- Compliance management, let us know where we are under and where we are over and then we can make the right decisions. Correct data leads to correct choices and Snow's scanning tools mean that we get the data and so the choices are down to the business.
- Snow License Manager has paid for itself over and over again, and not just the cost of Snow License Manager, but also the cost of the infrastructure and the upgrade of that infrastructure. Most users target the server environment first, and there are some big cost saving to be made there, but also the big expenditures. The desktop side can normally be deployed faster and give quicker returns, application license re-use is a policy that saves us tens of thousands every month.
All the top tools out there do the same sort of job, one quarter product A has a new service and within the next 3 quarters the other all have that service, some vendors innovate, other just buy in and integrate (to varying levels of success), and Snow License Manager does a bit of both. One area we did look at was the manpower that comparable business took to run those services and Snow License Manager came out with the smallest overhead, this meant that we could direct more money to the use of the tool, rather than making to tool work.
