Managing relationships with software publishers can be challenging.
Maintaining a positive relationship with publishers requires specific software asset management (SAM) and procurement practices. You have to know the unique features of each publisher and how to speak their language.

Prepare for the inevitable software license audit with confidence and analysis.
Participate in brokered and scripted communications when appropriate.
Major software publishers rely on intricate ecosystems that keep customers implementing, upgrading and paying more for their contracts and service agreements on a perpetual basis.
Certain business behaviors are assumed, or even expected, from publishers. Yet, it’s less obvious how consultants, service providers and systems integrators are incented to preserve the publisher’s costly business practices. That’s when it’s important to have an independent consultant, like Remend, on your side to help filter through the noise.
