Asset Management Consulting
McDowell Consulting will guide you in making strategic software asset management decisions that result in immediate cost savings. McDowell Consulting utilizes Novell’s ZENworks Asset Management and ZENworks Configuration Management products to give you the complete picture of your users’ software and hardware.
Any company of nominal size should be interested in Software Asset Management. ZENworks Asset Management from Novell is a mature, full-featured product, available for stand-alone installation or integrated with ZENworks Configuration Management.
Bruce McDowell is a former Novell product manager and pre- and post-sales technical services professional who started his own consulting business in 2008. Prior to joining Novell, he was one of the founders of Tally Systems, a pioneer in the development of asset tracking software, with NetCensus and then TS.Census (TSCensus).
Implementing asset management best practices and achieving compliance will also allow you to avoid non-compliance fines from the SPA and other regulatory agencies. Companies can recoup the cost of asset management consulting by following software asset management best practices and implementing or upgrading a ZENworks Asset Management installation, sometimes in as short a time as six months.
Gartner Group states “Through 2008, 30 percent of large enterprises will experience at least one on-site software audit per year (0.7 probability).”* Before you are subjected to a software audit, McDowell Consulting services will assist you in discovering non-compliant software licensing or under-purchased licenses.
The other side of the equation is over-purchasing of software. According to Gartner Group, the cost of implementing a software asset management program is recouped on average within six months.
We understand that finding an IT consultant you can trust is a little like online dating. You start the search with some trepidation, but with the hope that you will end up with a good match. You do the research, ask intelligent questions and probably go on a lot of not-so-great dates before you find the right person.
The main difference is that a bad IT consultant can cost you much more than dinner and a movie. It could cost your company thousands of dollars — or more — and you could end up not achieving your goals and losing credibility.
We have worked with many different types of organizations, from small town governments to large defense contractors. In working with any organization, our goal is to complete the project to the client's satisfaction. We can do the same for you.
