Managing software licenses and installations across an organization can often feel like navigating a maze. This presentation will show how to transform a previously chaotic, decentralized process into a streamlined, centralized system that controls how software is requested, validated, and deployed. This approach ensures that individual users can no longer install software independently. Instead, all requests are funneled through a structured process that includes clear roles, checks, and validation steps. Such a centralized system not only creates consistency but also ensures that each software request is carefully vetted by the right stakeholders before being approved. Integrating software owners, establishing committees for validation, and implementing a thorough process for packaging and publishing software allows for scaling up operations, optimize resource allocation, and create a more efficient and reliable system. In this session you will learn:

• How to transform a chaotic, decentralized software licensing process into a centralized, structured system?
• How to establish clear roles and validation processes to ensure consistency and control in software management?
• How to eliminate individual software installations by centralizing requests and approvals through a streamlined process?
• How to manage and scale a growing software ecosystem while maintaining operational efficiency and alignment across teams?
