Report Description
The Postal Service has recognized the need to improve its ability to identify, document, configure, and manage software licenses throughout their lifecycle. In July 2015, the Postal Service approved an investment of about $35 million for a software asset management program, which includes software discovery, centralized inventory license management, and a new IT Asset Management group within IT with the responsibility for making strategic software-related decisions. Our objective was to determine whether the Postal Service’s software license management program is functioning according to Postal Service standards and industry best practices.
