December 2004

LinkRight Software, LLC, announces a new product update, Tracker Version 2.0, which enables software usage analysis and planning at any level of the enterprise.

To make intelligent software maintenance and purchasing decisions, enterprises struggle to understand how licensed products are utilized within their organization.

This historical data, combined with Tracker's Software Investment Planner, simplifies product purchase, support and contract remix decisions while ensuring the availability of the proper amount of software licenses.

"Enterprises are beginning to understand that properly managing their software licenses as a centralized corporate asset can greatly impact their bottom line," says Stephen Kowalczyk, Vice President of Product Development for LinkRight Software. "By combining a customizable reporting structure with our unique Feature to Product mapping technology, Tracker 2.0 gives purchasing managers the data and tools to quickly determine what software products must be purchased or supported while estimating future license requirements and identifying under-utilized products. All this data must taken into consideration to successfully optimize your organization's software budget."

Tracker 2.0 is available for any server platform that supports Java 1.4.2 and higher. A web browser and access to an Oracle, SQL Server or MySQL relational database is also required.
