Licence Optimisation

The problem

Shelfware is quietly draining your budget.

Most organisations over-buy software and never claw it back. Without usage data you can't tell an installed licence from a used one. Renewals get rubber-stamped and spend keeps climbing.

Installed does not mean used — but you're billed for both
No single view of what you own versus deploy
Renewals default to last year's numbers

The approach

Reclaim with evidence, not guesswork.

uControl Insights maps deployments to canonical titles, records your entitlements, and uses the endpoint agent's usage telemetry to flag exactly which licences are installed but unused. It's graded by confidence so you reclaim safely.

Reclaimable Licences view, graded High/Low confidence
Software in active use is never flagged
Effective Licence Position shows surplus and shortfall
Vendor packs recognise Microsoft, Adobe and Oracle Java
