Austin, Texas – TriActive – April 1, 2008 – TriActive, Inc., a pioneer in SaaS for systems management and THINKstrategies, a strategic consulting company that helps enterprises make better sourcing decisions, today announced the completion of a 460 company study on the usage of Microsoft Office® software. The study, which included data collected by TriActive’s Asset Management Suite™ from over 125,000 endpoints across 460 companies, revealed companies can save an average of 50% or more on their Microsoft Office licensing by only purchasing software actually used by individual employees, and provisioning the correct version of Office needed by the users. The study found that Microsoft Office is installed on more than 99% of corporate PC’s and in many cases those Microsoft Office installations are underutilized or completely unused.

TriActive and its partners are offering an opportunity for companies to calculate their own software savings project at no cost or obligation. To register for a copy of the software savings study and a video on the FREE offer, go to www.SystemsManagementOndemand.com/software_savings_project.

“With accurate software installation data from TriActive, we analyzed our software license compliance and found in some instances we had too many licenses, and in others we did not have enough,” said Bill Jenkins, IT supervisor, Otay water District. “Using TriActive’s solution, our LAR saved us $300,000.”

“Working with our strategic partners, we’ve come up with the most cost-effective and easy way for customers, Large Account Resellers, and Managed Services Providers to find savings in their software portfolios,” said Ron Halversen, VP Marketing, TriActive. “We were surprised at the amount of savings in every company just sitting there for the taking. Our job now is to show the masses how easy it is to find and capture the savings.”

The TriActive Systems Manager discovery feature identifies and categorizes all the software applications installed within an organization’s computing environment. Systems Manager leverages a catalog of nearly 400,000 software titles that organizes and normalizes software types, titles, publishers, and versions into a series of reports for the customer, LAR, or MSP to review quickly and easily using a secure Web portal. The Web portal can show the potential costs of upgrading license agreements and the potential cost-savings of eliminating licenses for unused and underutilized applications.

The most popular approach to software license compliance is the implementation of an on-premise platform solution like IBM, Tivoli, Altiris, LANDesk, or Microsoft SCCM (SMS). While these solutions are designed to provide a broad management platform, they are costly to manage and support, and require vast amounts of infrastructure to provide useful data to Purchasing and Procurement organizations. In most cases, manual data manipulation is required to determine compliance or negotiate software license agreements, consumes valuable IT resources, and becomes yet another major IT project. By partnering with LARs and MSPs, TriActive has enabled a powerful, remote Systems Manager to perform a series of hardware and software management tasks in an automated fashion. The Systems Manager technology is packaged into scalable and modular components so customers can pay for what they use, when they need it. LARs and MSPs can now assist customers by leveraging this Web-based, hosted model to deliver accurate software license and usage reports. The greatest benefit is being able to benchmark their customers’ performance across a broad cross-section of their clientele. The only requirement is an Internet connection.

“As the economy becomes more uncertain, businesses of all sizes must manage their operations more carefully,” said Jeffrey M. Kaplan, managing director of THINKstrategies and Founder of the Managed Services and Software-as-a-Service Showplace directories. “THINKstrategies is pleased to collaborate with TriActive to clearly demonstrate how companies can benefit from managed services providers (MSPs) who leverage TriActive’s powerful Asset Management solution to track their software utilization levels so they can right-size their software licensing agreements and reduce their operating costs.”

Austin, Texas – TriActive – February 19, 2008 – TriActive, Inc., a pioneer in SaaS for systems management, announced today that the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) has selected their Asset Management Suite as a finalist in the Best Asset Management Solution category.

Established in 1986, the Codie Awards celebrate outstanding achievement and vision in the software, digital information and education technology industries.

“The CODiE award recognition is validation to our team’s commitment to provide customers cost effective solutions to the complexity related to software license agreements, compliance, and audits,” stated TriActive VP of Sales and Service, Craig Bauman. “Our hosted delivery model enables us to reach hundreds of customers to find immediate cost savings prior to signing an enterprise license agreement or responding to a license true-up. Customers are amazed at how quickly we can deploy a solution and provide a snapshot of their environment. What could take months with a premise solution has been shortened to minutes without the costly infrastructure. That’s immediate time to value.”

The Codie Awards recognize 68 categories of outstanding products and services. This year over 1000 products were nominated by over 600 companies. Over 250 judges from the trade press, consulting, educators, IT specialists and other knowledgeable, but neutral, experts were selected to review and vote on all of the products entered.

“Competition is tough this year and that makes selection as a Codie Finalist a real achievement,” said Ken Wash, SIIA president. “All the companies on this year’s list should feel justifiably proud of their recognition.”

The next step brings all the finalists before the judges to select the winner in each category, which will be awarded at a gala event on March 20th.

TriActive® offers a modular set of solutions and suites that can be provisioned with just a mouse click. The TriActive® Desktop Management Suite is the company’s most popular suite and includes everywhere-coverage for remote laptops and desktops with functions for asset inventory, associated fixed assets, software utilization, license compliance, software license harvesting, patch management, software delivery, Web-based remote control, help desk incident and problem management with support for tasks, workflow, auto-routing, escalation, and notification. The solutions are fronted by an integrated Web-based executive dashboard and reporting subsystem, meaning for our partners and customers that there is no hardware, software, or database to buy and maintain – ever. Version 7 introduces a brand new suite, Server Management Suite, which adds SNMP network and local system monitoring with service auto-restart, single-instance system reboot, and automated help desk incident management.

“We’re honored to be named a CODiE awards finalist,” said Poul Nielsen, TriActive, CEO/President. “CODiE has long recognized the value of SaaS. TriActive maintains a software catalog with over 330,000 titles, a project most IT departments can’t afford to take on, and there is no investment in hardware or software infrastructure and no maintenance whatsoever. We continue to surprise people with our SaaS offering, because it costs less than what many paid for their existing on-premise software, which is not typical. As companies focus on improving efficiency in 2008 Asset Management is a must-do project. We’re seeing six and seven-figure hard-dollar savings from software asset license management alone.”
