WHO WE ARE


We support IT, procurement, and compliance teams through every stage of IBM license management — from ILMT & BigFix architecture design and setup to audit preparation and long-term optimization.

Whether you are reacting to an audit or proactively aiming to stay compliant, we make IBM license management simple, accurate, and stress-free. Our hands-on, independent consulting approach gives you full control and confidence over your licensing position — no matter your company size.

Since 2015, our experts have helped nearly 30 companies across Europe to manage and optimize their ILMT environments. We have worked with clients from financial, insurance, and industrial sectors, as well as public institutions, helping them deploy and manage ILMT and BigFix solutions.

Our services cover server and agent deployment, migration, software discovery and classification, and reporting — often in complex, distributed, and high-security environments. We are experienced in cross-platform infrastructures, multiple virtualization technologies, and various operating systems. This allows us to adapt to each client’s unique setup and needs.

Our team is skilled in speaking the language of both technical specialists—such as those responsible for servers, storage, networks, and security—and business leaders—including managers and C-level executives. We bridge the gap between the technical and business sides of the conversation, ensuring clarity and alignment in every project.
