Advanced Integrated Solutions (AIS) recently published a blog about how augmenting your existing endpoint solution with additional capabilities, such as a software catalog and a usage analysis tool, can both reduce operating expenses and enhance your security posture.

The blog mentions how using IBM BigFix Inventory saves organizations money on software licenses. This usage analysis tool helps businesses maintain audit readiness and mitigate security risks with software compliance and usage. The platform gives organizations a clear picture of how many employees use a particular software application, whether or not they could be using a less expensive version of that software license, and then downgrading users to the appropriate license version in order to gain immediate cost savings.

The AIS blog also discusses IBM BigFix Detect and how it can transform your current endpoint security. It uses advanced behavioral analytics to identify evasive attacks, provides guided incident investigation and offers enterprisewide remediation all from a single platform.

Read the AIS blog for the full story about how boosting your existing endpoint tools with BigFix can create tremendous savings in maintenance costs, better utilization of staff time, a reduction in acquisition costs and much improved security.
