Description: License optimization is the process of managing and optimizing software licenses within an organization with the aim of reducing costs and maximizing the efficient use of resources. This process involves a detailed analysis of acquired licenses, their actual use, and the necessity of each one based on the organization’s operations. Through license optimization, organizations can identify underutilized or unnecessary licenses, allowing them to renegotiate contracts, eliminate unnecessary expenses, and ultimately improve profitability. Additionally, this process is integrated within FinOps practices, which seek to align financial management with cloud operations, ensuring that every technology expenditure is justified and optimized. License optimization not only focuses on cost reduction but also on ensuring regulatory compliance and security, avoiding penalties for improper software use. In an increasingly digital business environment, where cloud solutions are predominant, efficient license management becomes a critical component for the financial and operational success of organizations.
