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

You're unsure about your IBM compliance — and that makes you nervous

You don't know what IBM would find in an audit. Your ILMT isn't bulletproof. Your entitlements don't match your deployments. You need clarity, fast — before IBM decides to 'help you find it.'

02

You know you're overpaying but can't prove it

IBM licensing is a maze. You've got overlapping entitlements, shelfware nobody touches, and metrics nobody understands. You suspect millions are wasted. You're right. We prove it — and eliminate it.

03

You're preparing for a renewal, migration, or audit

Any major IBM event — ELA renewal, cloud migration, or audit — requires knowing exactly where you stand. Our assessment gives you the definitive licensing baseline that informs every decision and negotiation.

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

Detailed Compliance Analysis

We review your entire IBM software estate — usage, entitlements, sub-capacity eligibility, ILMT deployment, and metric calculations. Every license. Every product. Every potential liability. We find exposure before IBM does.

Cost Optimization Strategy

We identify wasted spend, redundant licenses, and misaligned entitlements. Specific, actionable recommendations to cut costs without compromising functionality. Our clients typically cut 20-40% of annual IBM spend.

Strategic Licensing Roadmap

We build a custom roadmap aligned to your growth plans, technology direction, and internal timelines. So your next renewal, migration, or audit starts from a position of strength.

ILMT Validation & Optimization

We validate your ILMT setup for accuracy and completeness — the foundation of your sub-capacity pricing eligibility and your strongest defense against audit claims.

The assessment uncovered $7.3M in optimization opportunities we had no idea existed — including $2.1M in shelfware and $3.8M in sub-capacity pricing corrections. Redress Compliance paid for itself within the first week. Every enterprise running IBM should do this.
