Anyone who has ever had a call from FAST (The Federation Against Software Theft) Knows how scary it can be. In our experience, most small and medium size companies purchase software legally, but often fail to keep accurate records.

Are you in a position to produce proof of purchase, and license agreements for every piece of software installed on your network?

If not, then you are not alone. It's extremely rare for small and medium size companies to have complete records of all their software. There are so many different licensing models and so many different vendors. Smaller companies just don't have the resources to keep track.

In short, it's a minefield. StokeIT can guide you though the minefield. Our auditing software can give you an accurate picture about where you stand, with no risk. We can give you inside advice on the various licensing models, and vendors. Despite fears, many companies actually find that they are over-licensed when they have a simple audit.

Until recently organisations like FAST mainly targeted large corporations. But this is changing, and smaller companies are now starting to receive fines. Compliance doesn't usually cost as much as you think. It's certainly cheaper than a big fine. And it brings significant peace of mind.

If you have embarked on a compliance programme, it will help protect you from prosecution. And it will bring significant peace of mind. Call us now to find out more.
