Is This Service Right for You?
If any of the following situations sound familiar, this service was built for you.
01

You need ongoing IBM licensing expertise but don't have it in-house

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.

02

You're planning an infrastructure change that affects IBM licensing

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.

03

You want a trusted advisor who represents only your interests

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.

Our Approach
We don't just analyze. We arm you — with data, leverage, and control.

On-Demand Licensing Advisory

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.

Strategic License Planning

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.

ILMT & Compliance Management

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.

Vendor Relationship Management

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.
