IBM licensing is technically complex — PVU and RVU metrics, sub-capacity rules, ILMT reporting and Passport Advantage renewals all create cost and compliance traps. Our independent IBM licensing experts optimise your position and negotiate your renewals on the buyer's side.
Metric validation, sub-capacity and ILMT, and Passport Advantage renewal negotiation.
We validate your metric counting and sub-capacity eligibility, and confirm ILMT is deployed and reporting correctly — the single biggest driver of IBM compliance findings.
We benchmark and negotiate your IBM renewals and new purchases, removing shelfware and resisting unjustified uplifts.
No IBM quota, no resale — just a defensible licence position that protects you in an IBM review and strengthens every negotiation.
