Corporate Software ’Piracy’ a Red Herring, claims Acresso Software
May 2008 by Marc Jacob
Acresso Software voices concerns about UK organisations being branded as thieves for committing software ’piracy’ in the Business Software Alliance’s (BSA) annual report, published this week.
The software license management specialist believes it is a highly
complex area. Vincent Smyth, RVP Sales, Acresso Software, comments:
"From our experience, very few organisations purposely commit software
piracy. An IT manager is faced with an incredibly large and complex
collection of software applications that have grown over the years, and
unfortunately many find it impossible to have a holistic and
comprehensive view of their software infrastructure to resolve the
question of who needs what kind of software. For this reason,
organisations are often under-buying, but also over-buying software
licences.
