FisherITS is now a part of Anglepoint, a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™.
Visit anglepoint.comAlmost all mega software vendors, such as Microsoft, IBM, Oracle and SAP, conduct vigorous license audits to maximize their revenue.
While many of these audits reveal genuine licensing abuses, an alarming number identify simply a lack of understanding of license terms and ineffective methods of ensuring compliance. Ignorance is no excuse, however, when it comes to paying audit settlement penalties.
We offer our clients the opportunity to have an internal audit before a vendor audit is initiated. This gives the chance to remedy risk areas and minimize financial exposure on any areas of non-compliance.
For other clients who engage us later in the audit process, we provide valuable support in validating audit request and audit reports, and advise on settlement negotiation strategy and tactics to minimize financial exposure.

We help you defend vendor audits by advising them through the vendor audit cycle and negotiating the final settlement with the vendor. Our aim is to make the process as stress-free and cost-effective as possible.
