Not a creature was stirring,
Only an overworked IT team struggling to complete a purchase order before December 25th….

Our 3 top tips for license renewal preparation
Tip #1: Maintain a centralised license inventory
Just like how Santa makes a list and checks it twice, you should be storing all your license details in one place to ensure quick and easy access to information.
You can regularly review and audit a centralised license inventory to reflect internal business changes and to ensure you’re prepared for contract renewals.
Tip #2: Assess future license needs
As the year draws to a close, you need to be thinking about more than just New Year’s resolutions, as having a robust plan for future license needs is crucial when preparing for contract renewals.
Evaluate any upcoming projects, staffing changes or tech requirements that can influence your business’ license needs, ensuring this information is reflected in your end-of-year vendor agreements.
Tip #3: Organise communication surrounding licenses
Let’s face it, no one wants to be called into a meeting at 3pm on December 24th.
By having clear and concise discussions now with relevant stakeholders regarding their licensing requirements, you can avoid any delays and rushed meetings.
Set deadlines internally that align with vendor contract renewal dates to ensure everything stays on track.
