We are still early in 2015, so now is still a justifiably permissible time to to reflect on the trends that have emerged in the management of IT software estates in the past year.

Martin Prendergast, co-founder and CEO of Concorde, outlines some of the key trends that have emerged, and what should be expected in the next 12 months.

Concorde provides solutions for managing software compliance, measuring vendor performance and reducing software spend across hybrid IT.

Hybrid (license) headaches

The rise of hybrid IT will create another barrier to achieving an accurate account of software licenses says Prendergast.

Cloud services have now reached a level of maturity and the industry can begin to see how it has served businesses over an extended period of time, and how businesses have found the best ways to use it he says.
