Software Reclaim

Software Reclaim empowers organizations to optimize their software investments by eliminating waste, reducing costs, and strengthening security. It identifies unused or rarely used applications, providing actionable insights into what’s installed, how often it’s used, and where reclaim opportunities exist. With removal policies you can automate or allow user-approved uninstallation of software.

Key benefits

• Cost savings: By identifying software that is installed but not used, organizations can reclaim licenses and reduce waste.

• Security: Unused or inefficient software can become a security risk (unpatched, not monitored). Reclaiming such software helps reduce attack surface.

  • Reclaim provides software administrators the ability to assess unused and rarely used software and either uninstall it or ask the end user to provide a reason why they want to keep it.

  • Reclaim can be used as a form of blacklisting by allowing software managers a quick and easy method for a mandatory uninstall of high risk software.

• User experience: Ensures users have the software they need, and not software that adds clutter or risk, which helps with standardization.

This tool is typically used by:

• Software administrators needing a full overview of the software estate.

• Security managers who must ensure unused software isn't a risk.

• Financial officers focused on cost-saving and optimization.

• End-user employees who may be prompted to retain or remove software.
