1E for Software Reclaim

1E Software Reclaim is a modern software uninstall tool that you can use to manage software cost, provide control and remove unused software from your organization's endpoints. With Software Reclaim you gain visibility of software inventory usage and can remove unused or rarely-used software. It enables IT teams to gain control of their software inventory and optimize cost.

Software Reclaim is aimed at:

  • Software Administrators: Who need a comprehensive overview of their organization’s software estate, they rely on their access to all devices and the ability to monitor them.
  • Security Managers: Who need access to all devices so they can mitigate security threats.
  • Financial Officers: Who are responsible for organizational cost savings, they need to analyze and understand software usage to make cost savings.
  • End User Employees: Who want their needs to be considered, and to install and retain software for their day to day responsibilities.

This application is part of the Enterprise Plus tier in the 1E licensing structure. To find out more about 1E licensing and get the complete Digital Employee Experience Platform, contact your 1E Account Team.

The primary value areas in Software Reclaim are:

  • Cost: Primary pain point for organizations.
    • Side by side comparison of usage versus cost.
    • Monthly and cumulative costs.
  • Security: Unused and inefficient software is an opportunity for security threats.
    • 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.
    • Mandatory uninstall: 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.
  • Experience: Improving end-user experience is at the center of all 1E products.
    • Software Reclaim allows us to understand and assess the relationship between usage and experience by highlighting what is used versus unused and rarely used. For example, software managers can evaluate the usage between Teams versus Slack and make a strategic decision on which software end-users prefer.
