Moving to a world in which enterprises of all types
and sizes use properly licensed software requires
an understanding of the real benefits that good
software asset management delivers, and the real
security and other risks that organizations face
if they do not practice good governance with
respect to software. Governments, accounting
and auditing professionals, industry consultants,
and non-profits, including trade associations
and business organizations should educate
organizations about software license compliance
and the dangers of unlicensed software usage and
installation.
