iQuate Announces iQSonar for Microsoft
Advanced technology to help Microsoft LARs leverage SAM incentive program

Microsoft World Partner Conference, Los Angeles, CA, July 11, 2011— Today, iQuate announced availability of iQSonar for Microsoft.  iQSonar’s powerful discovery platform is focused on Data Center and Server technologies and is configured to give Microsoft customers and partners detailed and accurate information about their Microsoft products and the environment on which they are installed.

This information is critical to the management and control of Microsoft deployments by providing a verifiably accurate basis for effective Software Asset Management (SAM) programs.

“Microsoft has been promoting the benefits of effective Software Asset Management to its customers for several years” commented Pat Durkin, iQuate CEO. “Now with the imminent partner SAM Services incentive program aimed at Large Account Resellers (LARs), they are actively promoting the benefits of SAM to their most important resellers. The biggest risk to customers and most significant area of reward for partners is in the complex data center environment which accounts for approximately 80% of enterprise software budgets. Unfortunately, SAM programs have traditionally not extended successfully into this environment because of the underlying complexity and this has left customers exposed to risk, with vendors and their partners missing out on valuable revenue opportunities. Now iQSonar gives customers and partners the ability to deliver effective SAM across the data center.”
