License Management
Efficient license management not only ensures cost transparency, but also guarantees that your Atlassian tools are always properly scaled and ready for use. We handle the provisioning, management, and optimization of your licenses – for both Atlassian products and Marketplace apps.
Cost control instead of a licensing jungle
Licensing for Atlassian products has become increasingly complex due to cloud models, Marketplace apps, and dynamic pricing structures. This often leads, without users realizing it, to over-licensing and unnecessary spending on unused software (“shelfware”).
We help you get a clear picture of your licensing expenses. We analyze your actual needs, consolidate contract terms, and eliminate cost traps. This ensures you get the most value for your budget.
Your benefits at a glance
Best Price Guarantee: We review every order for potential discounts, loyalty programs, or more affordable licensing options.
Purchase on account: Say goodbye to confusing credit card charges in U.S. dollars. We’ll send you a clear invoice in euros.
Synchronized terms (co-terming): No more 20 different renewal dates throughout the year. We’re aligning all licenses (core products & apps) to a single renewal date.
Avoiding “shelfware”: We identify unused licenses and apps before renewal so you only pay for what you actually need.
Scope of Services
License Procurement & Renewals
Processing of new purchases, upgrades, and renewals for all Atlassian products (Jira, Confluence, JSM, Bitbucket, etc.) and Marketplace apps.
User-tier optimization
Analysis of the user base to reduce the license tier (e.g., downgrading from 500 to 200 users through consolidation).
Consolidation (co-termination)
Consolidating various contract data into a single central database to reduce administrative workload.
Special Terms Management
Reviewing and applying for special discounts for eligible organizations directly with the manufacturer.
Budget-Forecasting
Preparation of multi-year cost forecasts that take into account expected user growth and known price adjustments by the manufacturer – for complete planning certainty.
Why should you entrust your license management to us?
Many license managers simply wait for renewal. We offer comprehensive consulting and support to help you maximize the value of your licenses.
- Proactive consulting: We don’t wait for you to place an order. We’ll contact you well in advance of your licenses expiring with optimization suggestions and proactively inform you of any upcoming price changes from the manufacturer.
- App experts: Plugins are often the number one cost driver. We know the marketplace inside out and can offer you unbiased advice: Is it worth upgrading to the premium version of the app? Is there a free alternative?
- Buffer zone: As a partner, we can often offer more flexible payment terms and provide license keys, even if your internal purchasing process takes a little longer.
- Atlassian Network: We are in contact with the manufacturer's staff and can resolve certain issues through direct channels.
Our Approach to License Management
We don’t view licenses as a commodity, but as an asset that requires active management. Our approach saves you money and ensures long-term efficiency
- Analysis & Validation: Before every transaction, we assess the current situation. Are the user numbers still accurate? Are all apps being actively used? We validate your actual needs based on real usage data.
- Optimization of the cost structure: Based on the analysis, we identify opportunities for cost savings. We advise you on more cost-effective licensing models, remove inactive users, and eliminate unnecessary cost drivers (“shelfware”).
- Accounting consolidation: We align all contracts and consolidate license renewals to a single date (co-termination). This drastically reduces your administrative burden.
- Proactive Lifecycle Management: We keep track of your deadlines. We’ll notify you well in advance of upcoming renewals and price changes, giving you plenty of time to make strategic decisions.
Results for our clients
License management is often underestimated, but it is one of the most effective ways to achieve quick savings. In many companies, software license budgets grow unchecked. Through our intervention, we make these costs transparent and manageable. We transform license management from a purely transactional process into a strategic cost-optimization initiative.
40% cost savings on apps
Through a detailed audit conducted prior to renewal, we identified and canceled redundant Marketplace apps whose features were now included in the standard Jira release or in free apps.
Preventing a price increase
Thanks to our proactive warning about an upcoming price increase from Atlassian, the customer was able to secure licenses for 12 months in advance at the old price, saving a five-figure sum.
