SIIA introduces the Compliance Network - Selects Belarc as one of its Certified Audit Software Providers

"The SIIA introduced the Compliance Network to pro-actively help IT managers with their software licensing and usage issues," said Keith Kupferschmid, Vice President, Intellectual Property Policy and Enforcement, SIIA. "The Compliance Network works for the IT manager and end-user to help resolve outstanding questions and implement policies for compliant use in the future. We also have the necessary experience and personnel to help organizations of all sizes to successfully complete this difficult task within a reasonable time period."

"We think that the SIIA is taking the right approach by helping IT managers with their software licensing tasks, rather than threatening them with an audit, said Sumin Tchen, Chairman, Belarc. "Combining Belarc's Intranet-based asset management system with the SIIA's Compliance Network is a winning combination for IT and License Compliance Managers. Belarc's systems have been used by customers such as the National Park Service, who deployed our BelManage system across their entire network of 20,000 desktops, servers and, laptops, throughout the U.S., in about two weeks time."
