Why is Licensing with Ascend better?

Proper License Management Can Avoid

Unnecessary Costs
Businesses may be paying for licenses they no longer need, such as new functionality in a platform that makes other licensed applications redundant, or when employees change roles or leave the company and no longer need access.

Operational Inefficiencies
Companies may be missing out on licenses or upgrades that could increase productivity. Insufficient oversight can also lead to downtime if a license mistakenly does not get renewed.

Security Risks
Being unaware of who has which licenses can create security risks. For example, a former employee may still be licensed to access sensitive information.

Compliance Risks
Similar to security risks, a lack of license oversight can create compliance risks. For example, data may not be secured according to your industry’s standards if too many people have licenses to access sensitive information.
