Where this shows up

Core network, OSS/BSS and field software licensing sprawls across vendors, contract types and business units, and nobody has a consolidated view until a vendor audit forces one.

How we approach it

• Build a consolidated license inventory spanning core network, OSS/BSS and field software.
• Reconcile entitlements against actual deployment and usage across every business unit.
• Flag overlap, underuse and compliance risk ahead of renewal and audit windows.
• Establish a standing governance process so new software is captured before it sprawls further.

What changes

• Fewer compliance surprises at vendor audit
• Clearer visibility into underused licenses worth reclaiming
• A defensible negotiating position at renewal
