Software Asset Valuation
Given that a large proportion of organisations do not know how much software they own, or how much they spend on it, it is not surprising that many struggle to communicate clearly the business value of core software assets to their Board. In taking steps to identify and quantify your software you create a sound basis for your future investment decisions.
Are you ... Faced with the prospect of replacing an existing software portfolio?
Able to put an objective value on your software portfolio?
Entering into new outsourcing negotiations or renewing contracts? Sure you are paying 'the right price' for your new software?
Pan Metron uses established methods and tools to create an independent and credible baseline valuation of your applications portfolio. We create an up-to-date software assets catalogue for your organisation. We offer advice on maintaining baseline valuations into the future, taking into account multiple projects and release phases.
If you are planning to replace a legacy system we can map existing functionality against that of the proposed new system and make a quantitative assessment of the differences. Comparisons with industry-derived figures are particularly useful if the re-development is for a software or hardware platform new to your organisation, or if you do not have valid data of your own. 'Customised Off-The-Shelf' (COTS) solutions can be compared with bespoke builds.
Pan Metron can objectively profile and size an entire software portfolio and provide early, accurate information for major re-development decisions
