-- FLEXnet Compliance Monitor, a new addition to the FLEXnet product family, provides software/hardware producers with an actual view of their customers' software usage without the need for expensive and time-consuming physical audits. For the first time, software/hardware producers can shift the conversation from audits to simply reviewing a shared set of facts to understanding actual software usage. Specific details are available at www.acresso.com/compliance. -- The latest release of FLEXnet Operations integrates fragmented or manual back-office entitlement systems, such as CRM systems or excel spreadsheets; this is a common challenge in the industry due to mergers and acquisitions. Moving to a single entitlement system reduces the costs of supporting multiple systems. Specific details are available at www.acresso.com/fno."The Entitlement and Compliance Management Solution from Acresso Software has helped Alcatel-Lucent improve the way we view and administer entitlements. Now our license generators can be consolidated into a single system, saving us time and money while giving customers a more consistent experience," said Manish Sharma, Program Director, Alcatel-Lucent. "We worked with Acresso as they developed this new release that will not only give us reports that detail our customers' entitlement activities, but more importantly enables us to better serve our customers by providing them a clearer view into how their departments use our products so they can better manage their own entitlements. We will also be able to dramatically reduce the time it requires us to give permission to use the requested application from a few days to a few minutes." "Software/hardware producers need to use their own medicine," said Roger Bottum, senior vice president of Marketing, Acresso Software. "Many often rely on manual, fragmented processes for managing their relationship with their customers, especially around software usage and entitlements. These new releases provide key new capabilities to automate these areas on both sides of the equation to facilitate a much more rational approach to entitlement and compliance."
