IBM licensing is one of the most complex ecosystems in enterprise software — PVU, RVU, VPC, sub-capacity, ILMT, and constantly evolving program terms. Our team of former IBM licensing specialists provides the independent expertise you need to take control.
IBM's licensing rules change regularly. Without dedicated expertise, compliance gaps grow, costs creep up, and you lose leverage in every vendor interaction. We provide the specialized knowledge your team needs — on demand.
Cloud migration, virtualization changes, acquisitions, or data center consolidation all have IBM licensing implications. We help you understand the impact before you make changes — not after IBM sends an audit letter.
IBM account teams, resellers, and even some 'advisory' firms have vendor relationships that compromise their advice. We have zero IBM affiliations. Our recommendations are built entirely around what's best for your organization.
Expert guidance for day-to-day IBM licensing questions — metric interpretations, deployment rules, virtualization scenarios, and entitlement validation. Available when you need it, without the overhead of a full-time hire.
We align your IBM licensing strategy with your business roadmap — technology refreshes, cloud migrations, M&A activity, and growth plans. Every licensing decision supports your broader objectives.
We help you configure, validate, and optimize your IBM License Metric Tool deployment. Proper ILMT management is your strongest defense against audit exposure and the key to sub-capacity pricing eligibility.
We help you manage the IBM relationship strategically — preparing for QBRs, evaluating IBM proposals, and ensuring your account team's recommendations align with your interests, not their quotas.
Having Redress Compliance as our IBM licensing advisor has transformed how we manage the relationship. We've cut annual spend by $4.2M, eliminated three compliance risks we didn't know we had, and finally feel in control. They're an extension of our team.
We don't partner with IBM, sell licenses, or take vendor incentives. Our advice is built entirely around your interests.
Our team includes former IBM licensing specialists who know the tactics, tools, and technicalities from the inside.
500+ enterprise clients across 50+ countries trust us to protect their interests in the most complex licensing environments.
Our engagements typically deliver 10-30x return on investment. We save you more — significantly more — than we cost.
