Express Software Manager, Express Metrix LLC

Express Software Manager®, like other category finalists, offers world-class hardware/software inventory, usage tracking, and license reconciliation—so you can easily determine where you’re under-licensed and over-licensed.

But that’s where the similarities end. To fully understand what makes Express Software Manager unique, it’s often helpful to explain what the product is NOT.

• It’s NOT a complex infrastructure product that requires weeks/months to deploy, several staff, or specialized knowledge. It’s straightforward, intuitive, and on average takes just a few hours to deploy.

• It’s NOT an enterprise suite where depth of analysis is sacrificed for breadth of functionality. We’ve developed our expertise over 12+ years, and our laser-focus on licensing—the principal objective of software asset management—is unparalleled.

• It DOESN’T lack support for critical technologies like Citrix, WTS, and virtual applications.

• It DOESN’T lack application control functionality that’s vital in effectively managing license compliance and security risks.

• We’re NOT a large, faceless company. When the phone rings, a live human answers. Customers rave about our support because we’re unwavering in our commitment to their success.

Express Software Manager is a rock-solid product backed by our passionate personal investment in our customers. Most importantly, we stick to what we know best: software asset management.
