At LicenseFortress, we specialize in revolutionizing software asset management by offering a unique blend of legal and technical expertise, ensuring comprehensive management and protection of your software assets. Our innovative approach positions us at the forefront of the industry, providing unmatched software license management and audit protection services.
LicenseFortress was created in 2014 by VLSS’s founder and chief architect, Dean Bolton, to help companies and organizations take control of their investments while removing the threat of non-compliance. VLSS spent nearly two decades specializing in Oracle and VMware technologies. VMware saw that many of its customers were subject to Oracle’s aggressive auditing tactics, especially in cloud environments, and approached VLSS about finding a solution for software asset management.
Today, LicenseFortress manages and optimizes software assets from Oracle (including Java), Microsoft, VMware, and IBM to Fortune 100 companies, government agencies, and small-to-mid-sized businesses. And LicenseFortress remains as the first and the only software asset management managed service that incorporates legal advice technical expertise with proprietary software management tools under a financial guarantee — providing unparalleled protection to its customers.
We help customers implement compliant software asset management strategies worldwide
At LicenseFortress, we are fully committed to our customers, and we always strive to deliver innovative solutions on time and under budget for your software asset management needs. Our goal is to optimize your software investment by enhancing your understanding of software licensing and pricing practices.
