Aspera.com - Aspera GmbH The first technology developed specifically for software license management came from Aspera. In 2000 Aspera introduced the "entitlement-centric" approach to the market. It was the first company to place the entitlement and license at the center of its processes, services, and technology. Unlike physical assets such as tables or laptops, software is much more intangible and fluid in nature with specific and distinct usage rights. If a solution is not specifically architected to understand these differences then it cannot adequately manage the unique entitlement based model under which software is sold and licensed. SmartTrack is designed to ensure both legal compliance and optimum license procurement strategies. With automatic generation of license data, the most comprehensive SKU (stock keeping unit) catalog, and service oriented architecture, SmartTrack is the most sophisticated software license management solution on the market. SmartTrack is available as a purchasable license with maintenance, as an ASP service (SaaS) or as a software lease with implementation on client premises. Effective software license management relies on the information provided, therefore it is driven by data management. The majority of organizations already have the necessary ITAM tools in place to act as data sources for software license management. For this reason, Aspera works with its customers to improve the return on investment for these tools, by adapting and improving existing processes to account for the limitations of the ITAM tools and to enable high quality data. SmartTrack is designed with standard connectors to to external software scanning, discovery, CMDBs, and other software data collecting systems; as well as with electronic shopping carts, ESD and ERP solutions (SAP, Oracle, and more), scan and metering tools as well as IT asset, contract, and service management systems.
