WHY UPGRADE FROM ILMT TO BIGFIX INVENTORY?

Cyril Englert
Solution Architect


Many IBM customers have deployed the IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT) to take
advantage of sub-capacity pricing from IBM. Sub-capacity licensing allows
organizations to license an eligible software product for less than the full
capacity of your server or group of servers. IMLT users are required to run the
tool regularly and keep the records for IBM to review. What many IBM customers
do not know is that BigFix Inventory does everything that ILMT does and more,
and that IBM has approved the use of BigFix Inventory for sub-capacity
licensing. ILMT users can confidently upgrade to BigFix Inventory and take
advantage of the additional operational and economic benefits that BigFix
Inventory offers.

Why upgrade to BigFix Inventory? 

Upgrade from ILMT to BigFix Inventory to extend the financial savings of knowing
about all the software installed in your environment, not just IBM software.
Many customers have realized the benefits of using BigFix Inventory to: 

 * Provide a single management tool that can identify software titles from over
   9,000 publishers
 * Reduce their total software spend by knowing exactly what software is
   deployed and optimizing vendor negotiations
 * Provide software usage information to Procurement, enabling the organization
   to understand software usage patterns and trends to support better planning,
   budgeting and vendor license compliance
 * Ensure audit readiness and software compliance 
 * Reduce the probability of vendor-imposed over deployment fines or penalties  
 * Mitigate security risk by identifying and optimally removing unauthorized or
   risky software 
 * Keep the enterprise Change Management Database (CMDB) up-to-date using the
   BigFix-ServiceNow integration

What can I do to learn more and evaluate BigFix Inventory? 

BigFix Inventory simplifies an organization’s software asset management
processes while reducing IT operational costs and security risk. Visit
www.BigFix.com for general information about BigFix Inventory or contact us to
schedule a demonstration.
