ITAM : Software : Total Cost By Publisher
How we calculate the Total Cost By Publisher Insight and why might it be empty
How do we calculate this Insight?
This insight comes from a multiplication of a few values:
- The number of installed titles in your environment, as discovered by our collectors.
- The licensing metric from our software library (i.e. if the title is licensed by core, by user, by installation, etc.)
- The MSRP value as defined in our normalized software library.
Note: the ability to reference a Contract or Entitlement value, instead of MSRP, is coming soon
Why might this Insight be empty or missing data?
There are a couple potential reasons that this insight be missing data:
- No installed software data has been discovered by a Block 64 collector.
- No discovered software titles are denoted as being commercial in the Software Library.
