Enjoy World-Class Software Recognition

Cherwell Software Asset Management helps you transform from outdated, reactive software asset management to a proactive enterprise that is always audit‑ready and up-to-date. Unlike other software license management tools, Cherwell Asset Management uses a proprietary software catalog to recognize the countless executables discovered on your network. That's why Cherwell Asset Management's software inventory reports are more complete and reliable than technology that relies on other methods, such as file headers or registry analysis.


Ensure Compliance with Proactive, Automated License Management

When it comes to license compliance, you can't afford to be caught asleep at the wheel. 53% of organizations experienced a software audit within the last two years, with true-up costs and penalties averaging $525,000 among those found to be non-compliant. Cherwell Asset Management's world-class license management capabilities and compliance reporting enable you to monitor your license position in a proactive, automated fashion—so you can correct license deficits before you receive the software audit letter.


Reclaim 15-30% of Your Software Budget

Do you suspect that unused or underutilized software licenses are costing your organization big money? Prove it with Cherwell Asset Management's powerful software usage analysis. On average, Cherwell's IT asset management customers reclaim 15-30% of their annual software budget through re-allocation of licenses, termination of maintenance fees and support costs, and renegotiation of software contracts.

With Cherwell SaaS Analytics, you can easily manage your Software as a Service (SaaS) subscriptions, and regain full control of your software estate. By using SaaS Analytics, you can view how many cloud licenses are being used vs not used. With this type of information, you can reduce your software spend, and only purchase what is needed.
