OUR IBM PRODUCT EXPERTISE

EXPERTS IN ILMT DEPLOYMENT

To truly maximize the value of your IBM software, you’ll need a partner who has expertise navigating the complexities of IBM licensing coupled with deep experience in proper ILMT deployment and reporting. By combining these two complex specialties under one roof, CleanSlate is able to provide clients with the best of both worlds.

As you know, if your ILMT isn’t properly configured and deployed, you may not meet requirements during an audit. With our depth of experience, you can reduce the risk during an audit and ensure that you are only paying for the licenses you actually use.

EXPERTS IN SAM/ITAM

We’ll assess your current SAM practices, then implement a strong SAM program with the proper processes, policies, and procedures needed to establish your Effective License Position (ELP) and ensure that you do not deviate from it.

Achieve Success with IBM

Because we’re always up to date with the changing rules and terms and conditions of IBM Passport Advantage (PA) Licensing, you can count on our expertise to help you lower costs and reduce risk of audit.
