IBM
IBM has shifted its focus in recent years increasingly from hardware to software. Each year, about 10 to 15 acquisitions are executed to broaden its software portfolio within strategically important product groups. IBM has a large focus on solutions in cloud, big data, mobility and social media. What to think, for example about acquisitions such as Cognos, SPSS, i2 and the recently acquired Softlayer which brings IBM in battle with Amazon in terms of IaaS.
IBM also has important propositions in the fi eld of many other solutions such as, for example, storage , middleware , security and databases. Noteworthy is that the IBM solutions often can be found in studies of parties such as Gartner in the top quadrant. This is not as strange as it may seem, since this is also an important part of the acquisition policy of IBM. Such broad software portfolio also provides for lots of different licensing models and so again many potential compliance risks.
COMPAREX has several specialists for IBM solutions, as well as experts in the fi eld of licensing models and contracts. If you would like to learn more about IBM solutions or want more information about the various licensing models, please contact one of our specialists.

Microsoft
Regardless of contract forms, licensing forms or products; Microsofts possibilities are endless. There is a solution for nearly every require-ment, but there is a risk that you may not see the wood for the trees. Is it better to purchase a license or choose for subscription instead and should you decide when installing or once a year? Are you going into the “cloud” or will you be staying “on premises” and, if you prefer a combination, what is the best option? Which products do you really need to optimize your business? What type of licensing suits you best: per core, per installation or per user? Are you fully compliant and will you continue to be compliant when you virtualize your environment?
Our Microsoft Solution Advisors analyse your requirements and situation, investigate the available options and provide advice about the right solution for your organization. Please ask us to join you while you prepare your migration, deployment and training processes and we promise you will gain an improved insight into the possibilities of your current licensing agreement!

Red Hat
Open source is a concept much heard of, but many people are also uncertain. Red Hat is one of the major players in the field of open source software. In addition to Red Hat Enterprise Server and the JBoss middleware solution, the company is now also entering the virtualization market with Red Hat Enterprise Vir-tualization.
With Red Hat too, it is sometimes unclear what you buy, because open source software is free anyway, isn’t it? In addition, the compliancy rules differ from most vendors, which makes specific knowledge necessary.
We would like to take the time to explain what Red Hat exactly delivers, how that works and what the rules are.

Virtualization & Infrastructure (V&I)
Everything starts with a concept or approach. Some good examples of these concepts are: Server Based Computing (SBC), Server Virtualization, Application Virtualization, Desktop Virtualization, Cloud Computing and Workspace Management. Regardless of what products will be used to provide the final technological details, the concept will remain the same. In addition, the licensing of such dynamic environments is a discipline in its own right. The V&I team is responsible for solutions from Citrix, VMware, RES Software and Veeam. Our V&I Solution Advisors will provide you with extensive advice on a concept, the licensing as well as on a technical level. Whether this is about Cloud Computing or Server, Desktop or Application Virtualization: your preferences and goals are the determining factor and not the complexity of the concept or the license.

Adobe
For many years, COMPAREX is the licensing partner for Adobe in the Benelux. Whether it concerns commercial organisations, govern-ment institutions or the education and/or non-profit sector: with COMPAREX you found a partner having the highest status, with much experience in these sectors. The benefit of this status is that you are assured of the best price. Furthermore, the communication lines with Adobe are very short. We often receive information earlier than other Adobe partners, which allows you to anticipate quickly. Recently Adobe changed from a purchase licensing model to a rental model for the Creative Cloud environment. This brings along many questions and ambiguities. Are you curious what this means for your organisation? Then please contact us to discuss this.

Software & IT Asset Management
Managing software licenses becomes increasingly complex with the introduction of cloud computing in hybrid environments, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and hardware and software virtualization. On the other hand, software manufacturers increasingly conduct reviews and audits.
In the vision of InfraControl, Software Asset Management is the only way to get the management of software licenses under full con-trol. InfraControl has developed its own SAM methodology which is based on the concept of I-CLEAR. This is an abbreviation of InfraC-ontrol - Contracts, License Entitlements, Assets and Reconciliation. With our extensive knowledge and years of experience in the field of Software Asset Management, we realize a situation where the results are accepted by the customer, as well as by the manufacturer. We would gladly explain the nature of SAM services during an introductory meeting.
