Description
Defending an audit is one of the most challenging things a software asset manager will ever have to do. In this class we’ll ensure you have a lifebelt available to ensure software audits are as painless as possible for you AND your organisation
By the end of this course you will have a strong understanding of the end to end process, including the process flow, stakeholders and RACI, as well as the systems used to support the process, and options for process improvement.
You will also create an audit defence playbook for use when next audited. The playbook allows YOU to be in control of the audit process rather than the other way round.
You will receive 1 credit towards the License Management Practitioner course for attendance on the course, and a second credit once you have worked with stakeholders to define and document a process document and audit defence playbook.
Course outcomes
During the workshop we will do a deep dive into the process objectives, roles and responsibilities, workflow, KPIs and common process ‘gotchas’.
Working with our expert trainers, you will also be able to define, refine and document the following:
- A process document tailored to YOUR organisation
- A process workflow tailored to YOUR organisation
- A process improvement roadmap
Sn audit defence playbook for YOUR organisation
