Software Life Cycle Management Standards will help you apply ISO/IEC 19770 to your business and enjoy the rewards it offers. David Wright calls on his vast experience to explain how the Standard applies to the whole of the software life cycle, not just the software asset management aspects. His informative guide gives up-to-date information using practical examples, clear diagrams and entertaining anecdotes.
There are also processes outlined for the Enterprise Software consumer whereby SWID tags can be “retrofitted” into existing software deployments, even if the publisher has not supplied them yet. This technique allows the enterprise user to leverage the enormous saving in software asset management that the standard can provide.
Don’t get left behind! Buy this book and enjoy the rewards offered by ISO/IEC 19770!
