Where this shows up

Large energy and oil & gas organizations often have business units, joint ventures, and regional operations that have procured and managed software independently for years. That leaves fragmented license records, duplicate spend, and compliance exposure that only becomes visible when a vendor audit lands.

How we approach it

• Consolidate software inventory and entitlement data across business units into a single view.
• Reconcile deployed software against owned licenses to identify compliance gaps and over-licensing.
• Standardize procurement and license-tracking processes going forward, not just a one-time cleanup.
• Prepare audit-ready reporting so vendor audits stop being a fire drill.

What changes

• A consolidated, accurate license position across business units
• Reduced spend from eliminated duplicate licensing
• Audit readiness instead of audit scramble
