The only ?me it will need work is during the ini?al phase when all the regular processes and so/ware func?ons come under this umbrella. In the ini?al setup, there might be slight to no disrup?ons in the regular work depending upon several aspects. However, when you consider the long term benefits of smooth func?oning in an organiza?on over many years and numerous processes, you will realize the importance of just a ini?al setup and numerous benefits for years together. It makes the overall system slow This is yet another misconcep?on that quite a few organiza?ons s?ll have. A wrong implementa?on of the overall so/ware management system can definitely make the overall process slow and the organiza?on may lag behind.

3. It’s only related to the IT industries So#ware and IT may be synonymous, but be rest assured that so#ware management is highly efficient and useful in many other industries. Some of the many crucial industries that use a so#ware management system in their process are insurance companies, asset management, finance and account industries, shipping and many other such industries that need reliable so#ware process management done on their large projects. There is a wide array of benefits for many industries with the implementa?on of a management system on their so#ware. There is no need for our organiza5on The whole is going behind making their systems smooth and reliable. So#ware is one of the most important things in an organiza?on, and so it is crucial for organiza?ons to have the best so#ware systems in place and also to make sure that all their so#ware is working efficiently. An organiza?on is as good as the so#ware and other technologically advanced gadgets and tools.

4. It is management so,ware Most people get confused between so1ware management and management so1ware. As a result, some feel that it is management so1ware that is used for several business ac;vi;es. However, this is not the case and so1ware management in reality is a more complex and variable process. So1ware management as the name suggests is a system that is efficient enough to manage the so1ware assets, and also the many acquisi;ons in larger companies. There is a great need to do this because this management system helps to manage the various scheduling of so1ware updates, keeping track of so1ware licenses, and also to keep the so1ware subscrip;on renewals up to date. So rather than being a so1ware used in various business process management, it is a process that manages the so1ware of the organiza;on. It is not important for our industry Do you own many computers and use various so1ware programs in your organiza;ons? If yes, you are in a great need of a so1ware management system. Well, so1ware developer designs par;cular so1ware to work on one system or in most enterprise setups, a number of systems decided in the agreement. However, in business setup, it is very easy to forget this fact and overuse the so1ware in many different systems. The danger here is that the so1ware company has a way to track the so1ware license being overused and if there are organiza;ons viola;ng the law. If the so1ware company finds faults in the so1ware licenses and other legal issues, the business owners will need to pay he1y penal;es for the same. So rather than the misconcep;on of not important asset for the organiza;on, many wise organiza;ons realize the importance of using a so1ware management system. /managly /managly /company/managly

5. It is very expensive A so%ware management comes with a cost for sure, and for some organiza6ons the ini6al investment may be more than the others. However, paying a cost for efficiency and proper process in a business is a part of expenditure. The organiza6ons will need to pay upfront cost and other maintenance and upgrades cost as well. So is it expensive? NO! It is not expensive, and we understand this fact by considering the numerous benefits an organiza6on can receive by implemen6ng it in their process. The company will not get into a legal trouble with exceeding the licensed so%ware. The manpower used for keeping and monitoring the so%ware inventory can be used for something more produc6ve in the organiza6on. So compared to the numerous benefits the implementa6on of a so%ware management is not an expensive affair. It will use workforce Yes, there are stringent processes involved in so%ware management and various complex tasks are handled in a jiffy. It may seem that this will use up a lot of workforce in the organiza6on and this may add addi6onal cost to the company. However, contrary to this fact, once the so%ware is implemented and installed in the system, it needs liLle to no maintenance and works on its own. So what happens with the exis6ng workforce? Well, the exis6ng workforce can be assigned to handle various other crucial tasks that are more produc6ve and need human thinking. As a result, the organiza6on is able to make more money rather than losing on hiring and retaining people. /managly /managly /company/managly

6. The security maybe threatened Security is one of the most important aspects of businesses. If there are no proper measures for security, the businesses may have a crash and everything the company has worked for years can be turned into ashes. As a result, most of the businesses are reluctant to implement so=ware management in their organiza?on. One of the common misconcep?on maybe they have is that the security can be breached. How can the security be compromised? Well, consider what can happen if there is shadow IT in your organiza?on. Shadow IT is nothing but the problem of employees trying to bypass the IT department and install whatever they want on their system. This is one of the most dangerous problems that you could have when it comes to security of the whole organiza?on. It could be the users installing things they are not supposed to, or it could also be the IT department unknowingly installing so=ware that could prove to be disastrous in the later stages. Any loop hole can be manipulated by the hackers and there you have a virus crawling in all the systems in a jiffy. If this happens, the whole organiza?on will on the mercy of the criminal hackers. How so6ware management helps in security? So=ware management not only decides on what should be installed and what is not recommendable. But, this system also helps to keep a good track on any applica?ons and so=ware licenses that are expiring and to iden?fy loopholes that can be filled without exploita?on from the hackers. The owners are able to monitor the various so=ware being used in their organiza?on and are helped with the ?mely pop ups and reminders help them to update the so=ware and various applica?ons on ?me. So rather than compromising the security of your organiza?on, this type of a management system helps in managing the exis?ng security. It strengthens the system and adds more security to the exis?ng setup. /managly /managly /company/managly

7. Managing so)ware license is not important This is a misconcep-on that comes with a heavy price. Most organiza-ons have faced he9y penal-es and legal troubles due to this aspect. A few hundred dollars are well-worth, compared to spending thousands and even millions of dollars in fines and legal troubles. Most organiza-ons are fined heavily for not managing their so9ware license. A so9ware license in an enterprise is like a master key to almost anything. Misuse on the part of employers can result in he9y fines and a bad reputa-on in the market that takes a lot of -me in recovery. Whose responsibility is it to manage licenses? Managing the so9ware license is the responsibility of the organiza-on. This responsibility should never be taken lightly because any negligence in this aspect will only result in fines. The so9ware owners are not going to listen to silly reasons on how and why a human error caused a crime against them. So the organiza-on needs to make sure that they manage all their so9ware and license details so that there is no trouble in the future. We’ll need to add personal This is yet another misconcep-on that keeps some organiza-ons from implemen-ng so9ware management in their system. The cost of hiring and retaining an employee is quite high these days, and the organiza-ons only want to have talent that can be used for variety of produc-ve tasks. The so9ware management is beneficial because the companies need not invest on the people but just a single investment is enough to handle many different tasks throughout the year. /managly /managly /company/managly
