SNOW PRODUCTIVITY OPTIMIZER
Increase productivity by automating software processes
Snow Productivity Optimizer helps organizations save costs by automating manual processes, including software request and approval. With Snow Productivity Optimizer, you can proactively avoid common resource-related issues such as unmanaged access to software, overuse of software licenses and license sprawl.
Increase productivity and reduce cost with Snow Productivity Optimizer
Increase productivity
Self-service for hardware and software requests
Snow Productivity Optimizer provides web portal shopping cart functionality so you can maintain control and cost transparency with predefined, multi-level approval workflows. Approval notifications include the capability for users to track requests and approval processes. Users can also view cross-charge and show-back cost information per user and application.
Increase productivity
Automated software harvesting
Snow drives proactive cost avoidance by automatically removing and harvesting unused software. Reclaimed licenses are pooled for reuse so that procurement requests are only necessary when no licenses are available. Administrators can remove application and data access based on user role and governance policies.
Proactively avoid cost
Easy to use
A complete automation solution
Snow Productivity Optimizer is supported by out-of-the-box workflows ready to handle the most common challenges, including software re-harvesting and access requests. It uses industry-standard scripting language, not proprietary, difficult-to-support technology. Snow supports automation across all environments and provides unlimited automated workflows with no additional cost for approvers.
How It Works
Flexera provides complete lifecycle management of software and services from request to retirement. Snow Productivity Optimizer enables users to order the services they need, when they need them, from an approved catalog in a self-service portal. By ensuring that requests for resources follow the policies set by the organization, Snow Productivity Optimizer can help you control how hardware, software and cloud resources are consumed.
We now have a storefront which has dramatically reduced the number of service desk tickets. This represents a huge reduction in time, as it saves us an average of two days’ worth of work each time a user puts in a request for software.
