ECHO Business Suite for License Management, Asset Management, and SPLA Reporting
Centrally manage license management, automatically capture asset data, and implement audit-proof SPLA and CSP reporting
The ECHO Business Suite helps companies, hosters, and cloud service providers consolidate license management, asset management, and reporting into a single, centralized solution. The foundation is a complete inventory of the IT environment, including software, hardware, virtual components, and multi-tenant structures. This allows license-relevant data to be automatically evaluated, contract logic to be securely mapped, and auditable reports for billing, compliance, and manufacturer requirements to be quickly generated.
The solution was developed directly in a hoster environment and is designed to meet the requirements of cloud service providers, SPLA models, CSP structures, and complex provider environments. This makes license usage, assets, and contractual relationships transparent, traceable, and efficiently manageable. SPLA and CSP reporting is available at the touch of a button, significantly reducing manual effort in recurring processes.
Licence management, inventory and reporting functions
Those who want to reliably manage license data, contract models, and infrastructures need more than isolated solutions. The ECHO Business Suite bundles inventory management, license logic, asset management, and reporting into a central platform. This creates transparency, reduces coordination effort, and forms a reliable basis for billing, verification, and the management of complex IT environments. If related solutions for digital business processes are relevant, you will find them in the Business Solutions section.
Full inventory of software and hardware
The entire IT infrastructure is systematically recorded, including servers, virtual components, installed software, and existing hardware assets. Multi-tenant environments can also be centrally inventoried. This creates a reliable data foundation for license allocation, evaluation, and documentation.
Licence management and mapping of complex contractual logic
License models and contract structures are transparently mapped within the platform. This simplifies handling SPLA, CSP, and other manufacturer requirements, ensuring greater security in the ongoing assessment of usage, contractual relationships, and license needs.
SPLA and Audit Reporting at the Touch of a Button
Reports can be generated quickly and systematically, and provided for internal evaluations, manufacturer requirements, licensing partners, or audits. The usage of individual licenses and assets remains seamlessly and traceably documented. This saves time and reduces sources of error.
Near-real-time analysis using dashboards
Current data can be continuously evaluated and visualized in dashboards. This allows changes in license usage, deviations in infrastructure, and economic potential to be identified early.
Multi-client capability and client management
The platform supports the management of multiple customers and tenants within a shared interface. Especially in provider and hoster environments, this significantly simplifies the support of different environments, contract models, and evaluations.
Secure deployment and audit-proof documentation
The solution is designed for secure provisioning, traceable processes, and auditable documentation. Encrypted communication, structured data storage, and audit-compliant historization create a reliable foundation for compliance and secure operations.
