Bytes takes further leap in managing software licences for the enterprise.

Johannesburg, 21 Sep 2007

Bytes Systems Integration (Bytes SI) is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Centennial License Manager locally, on the back of the global announcement made by the vendor earlier this month.

The new software, available throughout Africa from accredited Centennial distributor Bytes SI's Licensing and Infrastructure Services unit, forms part of the Centennial SAM.Suite solution.

License Manager enables clients to better manage software within their organisation by automating the capture of licence entitlements, while at the same time reconciling the validated licence information against discovered software applications.

Nick Perkins, Divisional Managing Director: Bytes SI-Pure Licensing and Infrastructure Services unit comments: "Licensing is one of the biggest challenges facing CIOs. Although it forms one of the most critical parts of the IT department, it is one of the most difficult to monitor and maintain. That said, License Manager has been designed to take the fuss out of the process, and for the most part automate the management of software licences, while ensuring your software asset register is current."

The Web-based Centennial License Manager is a software licence compliance solution that integrates with the Centennial Discovery SAM solution, and is an ideal tool that ensures IT departments are able to have a single view of their licensing positions, while taking control of potentially spiralling software costs.

Major benefits of the solution include:

* Increased knowledge of your software estate and its usage
* Drive down costs
* Achieve and maintain compliance
* Improve IT governance

Bytes is a Microsoft Gold Partner in the Licensing Solutions Competency, with particular focus across both License Delivery and Software Asset Management Solutions. It is against this backdrop that the inclusion of the License Manager solution adds a vital component to the company's offerings.

"License Manager is an incredible tool that dramatically simplifies what has been an arduous manual task in the past, that being capturing of licence entitlement information, matching discovered software against vendor SKUs and finally, reconciling installed software against licences held. We have several customers currently exploring the capabilities of this powerful tool," adds Perkins.

The solution is available from Bytes locally with immediate effect. For more information, please visit the Pure Licensing and Advanced Infrastructure Web site at www.purelicensing.co.za
