ArrowSphere xSP Central creates value for us with a solid licensing overview that helps to ensure that we comply with applicable licensing rules and have the right license composition.
At the same time, the system automates our reporting, reducing the time we spend on reporting with at least 50%. The first report in the system automatically forms a template for subsequent use.
In addition, ArrowSphere xSP Central makes it possible to segment the reporting per customer and link the reports to our billing system.
The insight into our reporting gives us an extra supervisory to ensure a proper billing.
