Founded by Software Practitioners

Soft-Aid was founded in 2003 by a team of IT Directors and business IT consultants. We realized that organizations that team up with software licensing experts in implementing software asset management (SAM) systems realize far better results than those that tackle these issues on their own. The same is true for resolving compliance issues.

Why go up a steep and long learning curve when Soft-Aid has already successfully done so ... a snapshot ...?

• Our project managers are skilled in circumventing external and internal inertias that typically derail the compliance resolution process.
• Our project managers and consultants not only have ample first-hand experience but also draw from a wealth of company knowledge including license agreement (EULA) libraries, legal interpretations, vendor contacts, etc. Soft-Aid has advanced insight into vendor tolerances for resolution.
• We have proven experience in how to optimize a company's software licensing to boost cash flows.
• We have experience with the intricacies of implementing and maintaining an expert software asset management (SAM) system.

Software Licensing -- A Consulting Specialty

... Soft-Aid sticks to its "knitting" ...

Soft-Aid recognizes that software licensing is a specialty. We leverage knowledge and experience bringing turnkey solutions to our clients. Those few IT consulting firms that engage in software licensing projects run them out of their general IT consulting group. IT consultants who are not immersed in these intricate topics do not offer the same level of service as Soft-Aid's consultants.

The software vendors are not equipped to help with problem resolution. Furthermore, unlike Soft-Aid, software vendors do not have your best interests in mind. As for using an internal IT department to solve a software licensing problem, that is like asking "a fox to guard a chicken house" to quote a cliche.

It should be apparent that the consequences of choosing the wrong partner (or none at all) are ample. They include project "false starts" and wasted hours ($$$) following ill-conceived "logic" and mistaken interpretations of licensing program details.

Because Soft-Aid maintains ongoing frank relationships with most software vendors and keeps abreast of changes in licensing programs -- often well before changes occur -- we can deliver timely and cost-effective solutions to our clients. We are therefore in the business of saving our clients money!

The Quality of our Deliverables is a Top Priority

As mentioned above, we focus on our strengths and partner where appropriate to complement our services and provide A-to-Z licensing resolution. Our consultants are rated on the quality of their work and the efficacy of the licensing resolution.

Over the course of our many consulting engagements, we have refined successful software licensing project management and issue resolution.
