QTS Press Release

Release Date: November 12, 2001

QTS Announces Software Asset Management and Licensing Compliance Service; Chosen by Microsoft as first in USA to Pilot Test the service

South Orange, NJ, November 12, 2001 - Quality Technology Solutions, Inc. (�QTS�) today announced its new service offering for New Jersey and New York businesses, to help them with assessing their compliance with software licensing requirements, and with ongoing software asset management.  This service is targeted to help customers avoid compliance problems in the event of an audit by the Business Software Alliance. 

The service offering was developed with input and assistance from Microsoft, for whom QTS is a key "go to" partner in the mid-market business space.  The initiative is part of a pilot project Microsoft and QTS are running to promote Software Asset Management Services, and QTS was chosen by Microsoft as the first partner in the USA to develop the offering and jointly target mid-market businesses to provide assistance.

�Most medium businesses truly do want to be compliant in their use of software, they just don't know how to manage the process and do so," noted Neil Rosenberg, President and CEO of QTS.  �Our service offering helps businesses conduct a compliance review to ensure they have the right licenses to match what they are using, but also sets them up properly going forward to track their usage and organizes their licensing information in case they are ever audited and need to show proof of ownership.�

QTS' service is based on a straight-forward approach:

  • Conduct a review of what software is installed on each machine;

  • Conduct a review of purchase history (what licenses are owned, which does the client have purchase records or license documents for);

  • Conduct a review of what software the client actually needs in order to operate.

By aligning these three areas, it is possible to determine the gap between what they have, what they are using and what they need, and purchase appropriate licenses to fill the gap.

"We help the client organize this information into a manageable binder or filing system, and a business process, so they can stay compliant going forward, and can easily justify their position if they are ever audited in the future," noted Christine Bongard, QTS' Vice-President.  Ms. Bongard is QTS' Software Asset Management Champion and is leading the initiative, and serves as the customer contact for this new service..

The service is available immediately, and is offered in conjunction with Microsoft's ongoing licensing compliance efforts.  QTS and Microsoft will be partnering to drive awareness of software compliance and asset management issues for New Jersey businesses in the upcoming months.  QTS is a Microsoft Open License Reseller, and works with a Microsoft Large Account Reseller for accounts with more than 250 desktops that qualify for their Select or Enterprise License programs.
