Re: The proof of the pudding
Agreed... no way the vendors who *should* sign up to this will do so..
The standard for software asset tagging has been published in one form or another through ISO19770 for a very long time.
If the vendors tagged their software correctly then it would be a simpler process to analyse usage.
Why would a vendor who relies on complexity and confusion to generate revenue actively move to make things simpler for a customer ?
