Back to original languageAbout Aar
Senior Software Asset Manager Consultant, I support large organizations in mastering their licensing risks and optimizing their software costs, leveraging over 20 years of experience in IT infrastructure, ITAM, and asset governance.
Accustomed to complex and international environments, I manage global software inventories, ensure compliance (preventing vendor audits, analyzing gaps, targeted action plans), and define optimization strategies to generate sustainable savings while enhancing data quality and asset visibility.
Proficient in major licensing models (IBM, Oracle, Microsoft...) and discovery/inventory tools (ILMT, IBM BigFix Inventory, SCCM, BMC Discovery), I bridge the gap between CIOs, Purchasing, and Business units to negotiate effectively with vendors, ensure CMDB reliability, and transform license management into a true lever for business performance and risk reduction.
