Global License and Advisory Services (GLAS)

License transparency for smarter negotiation

Enterprise software licensing is complex, often leaving licensees stuck paying for the confusion. But making the best decisions for your organization’s needs and goals means having full control and understanding of licensee rights — and putting them to work for you. Rimini Street’s experts help make that happen.

Our global team of software license optimization experts — some of whom are former software auditors — work as your advocates, offering vendor-agnostic advice and guidance to help you not only maintain software license compliance but also achieve your desired outcomes. With nearly two decades of experience helping thousands of licensees navigate and maximize the full value of their mission-critical systems, including customizations, we put you in control of your IT roadmap, ensuring you remain flexible and ready for innovation without the speed bumps and full stops.

Regardless of where you are on your IT journey, let Rimini Street help you manage the entire software lifecycle, from acquisition to termination, and everything in between. We’re here to support you and your IT and finance teams to gain confidence and be in charge of the decisions that impact your future.
