• Produce quarterly reports on compliance, usage, and savings.

Stakeholder Support

• Support internal stakeholders (business stakeholders, product owners, service owners).

• Provide recommendations that help client make strategic decisions regarding the software portfolio.

• Explain complex licensing issues in a clear way to non-technical decision-makers.
