Codemasters declares war on surplus software. Centennial Discovery Software uncovers GBP11,000 worth of redundant licenses Following the latest research from the BSA (British Software Alliance) which found that 27% of software in the UK is pirated, some British companies are using asset discovery tools to actually help improve their software optimisation. Codemasters, the leading developer and publisher of critically acclaimed video games, has used an automatic IT asset discovery tool to identify redundant software and achieve savings of GBP11,000 in just one month.
The leading British video games company, which has operations in the UK, USA Germany and Spain, used the Discovery solution from Centennial Software to find, identify and audit all hardware and software on its network. By reconciling the number of applications in use against the licenses it held, the video games specialist was able to see where it had more software than it actually needed.

Article Heading: easyJet Successfully Navigates Technology Turbulence With Centennial Discovery Software
Prior to the merger, GoFly was required to move to a new Microsoft licensing model and was given a deadline of July 2002, by which time full compliance was required. Any knowledge of software or hardware assets that resided in each machine was traditionally obtained by undertaking lengthy walk round audits and individual PC examinations. This data was held in a series of spreadsheets and was quickly outdated as software changes occurred and memory upgrades were made to individual machines. It was clear that if GoFly wanted to develop a means of assessing the current status of it’s software licenses, an asset management software tool was required. In 2002, following the announcement of the easyJet/GoFly merger, it was clear that a detailed knowledge of both existing airlines’ infrastructures was required if combining the two was to be effective. Consolidation of the IT systems would not be possible without a detailed picture of all the components and applications that required integration. What was needed was a tool that could identify in detail what hardware and software components were present on each PC and where it was situated at both airlines. Without a means of charting electronically both infrastructures, the laborious process of tracking what hardware existed at the easyJet site and making the necessary comparisons with GoFly would have ground the integration almost to a halt.

Article Heading: LONDON BOROUGH OF MERTON SUCCESSFULLY MEETS LICENSING INSPECTION BY MICROSOFT WITH RAPID DEPLOYMENT OF CENTENNIAL DISCOVERY INVENTORY TOOL AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
The London Borough of Merton is today calling for local government institutions across the UK to act now to protect themselves from the aggressive software license inspection campaigns that Microsoft and the Business Software Alliance (BSA) have brought to bear upon the UK's network of local government authorities.
The London Borough of Merton was recently targeted by Microsoft for a license inspection of its software inventory. The IT Services division of the local authority chose Centennial Discovery inventory tracking software supplied by Networld UK, a Centennial Discovery reseller. The software helped to underpin the policies and working practices by identifying what licenses were in use, which licenses were redundant and which areas of the software inventory required new licenses, prior to the inspection.
The London Borough of Merton worked closely with Networld UK to ensure that it was given a clean bill of health following a rigorous inspection by Microsoft appointed agents. The local authority uses approx. 2000 software licenses that cover the use of software applications across the organisation.
