The MS program gives me the creeps and I advise customers to stay the heck out of its way. It's an invitation to have MS bugging you about upgrading inventoried software, or pitching you for the MS product-which you may already have reviewed and rejected- where they see an incumbent competitor. This product is also a very important alternative to the Microsoft SAM Managed Service Program, which theoretically monitors ongoing compliance but is a boon to MS sales teams, who probably mine the data for all it's worth. I see too many situations where this time consuming task has to be repeated for every true-up. Once the customer makes any changes, say to prod/non-prod values, they stay there. Ongoing, up-do-date inventories that can provide real value and eliminate a lot of repetitive input on the customer's side. Comments: I've found it a very powerful tool for customers that have used it.
