Your specialist in licensing consulting
and lower software costs

Our software and licensing consulting services help companies avoid unnecessary costs while remaining compliant.

Our focus is on optimizing corporate licenses, reducing ongoing support costs, and developing a clear negotiation strategy when dealing with manufacturers that act like monopolies.

The key difference from our competitors: ProLicense provides consulting services independently of software vendors such as Oracle, VMware, or Autodesk. We negotiate exclusively in the best interests of our clients. Half of our clients choose our success-based cost optimization service.

We combine licensing, financial, and contractual perspectives into a holistic approach. Our team consists of lawyers, financial controllers, and professional negotiators. We use every possible means to reduce your costs.

These include, among other things, the use of pre-owned software, third-party support models, and the strategic use of existing contracts to renegotiate software agreements.

This combination creates significantly greater savings potential than if individual measures were considered in isolation. Today, one in four DAX-listed companies relies on our approach.

Our team includes, among others, licensing experts with many years of experience in the manufacturing industry, lawyers, and negotiation specialists.

We guide and manage software audits in a structured manner and in our clients’ best interests. However, our clear goal is to completely prevent software audits. One in three inquiries received by ProLicense concerns software audit consulting.

We help companies implement and use third-party support solutions. Our focus includes Oracle, VMware, SAP, and Microsoft, among others.

The goal is to significantly reduce your support costs while creating greater flexibility. This reduces your dependence on vendors.

ProLicense deals in legally acquired used software, specifically Oracle and VMware license rights. In doing so, it ensures compliance with legal requirements, including by disclosing the chain of title from the original purchase of the licenses through to the sale.

A partnership is always a good option for you if software costs represent a significant portion of your budget, support costs cannot be reduced in line with your IT strategy, or audits are on the horizon. Of course, it’s also always worthwhile to seek assistance when negotiating a complex IT contract and you’re considering expert support to navigate the complicated contract clauses.

Often, an initial analysis alone reveals clear opportunities for savings or recommendations for action. The decisive factor is frequently not the size of the company, but rather the complexity of the contractual and licensing situation in conjunction with high ongoing or upcoming costs. We are very often able to identify ways out of the cost spiral.

We begin with a structured analysis of your current situation. Building on that, we develop specific measures for cost optimization, audit defense, or contract negotiation. We work transparently and with a clear focus on measurable results. Your cost savings are always our top priority.
