CITRA Insight gives you a clear, independent view of the software environment across your organisation, before a publisher review, renewal discussion or compliance exercise puts you under pressure.
It usually starts with an email.
Different words. Usually the same underlying question:
“What software is installed in your environment, and are you properly licensed for it?”
Dear valued customer, We would like to schedule a review of your organisation’s software deployment and licensing. Kindly nominate a point of contact and share the requested information within…
And when that question comes from a software publisher, the clock starts ticking. IT teams are suddenly asked to pull together information from procurement, finance, employees and hundreds of machines. Purchase records have to be found. Old deployments have to be checked. Licences have to be reconciled.
And somewhere in the middle of all this, one question usually becomes the most important:
“Where do we actually stand?”
CITRA Insight is built to answer that question before you receive the email. We bring years of experience from the software licensing and compliance side of the industry and apply it to your environment. You get an independent view of what is installed, what you can account for, where potential gaps exist and what they could mean financially.
When the email arrives, you shouldn’t be starting your investigation. You should already know the answer.
Software environments change constantly. Employees move between teams. Machines are replaced. Trials become installations. Old versions remain on systems. Applications are installed and forgotten. Licences are reassigned. Purchase records sit in finance while technical information sits with IT.
Over time, the picture becomes difficult to reconcile. CITRA connects those two sides.
Understand where your installed software may not align with your available licence and purchase records.
Identify software that is installed but no longer required, helping you make better decisions at renewal and procurement time.
Build a reliable software inventory based on what is actually present across the machines assessed, not what someone believes should be there.
If a publisher, auditor or internal stakeholder asks about your software estate, you should already know the answer.
CITRA is not a procurement exercise. We don’t start with a product catalogue and work backwards. We start with your environment.
We identify what is installed, examine the technical indicators available to us, compare that information with your licensing and purchase records, and present the resulting position in straightforward business terms.
We establish what software is actually present across the machines included in the assessment.
We compare technical findings with the licence and purchase information you provide.
Where a potential gap is identified, we quantify its indicative financial impact so you can prioritise what matters.
You receive recommendations based on your actual environment, not a generic list of products you should buy.
We look. We reconcile. We explain.
We provide your IT team with a lightweight collection utility and clear instructions. There is no permanent agent to deploy across your organisation. The utility collects relevant software information from each machine and produces an encrypted output. Typically, the collection takes only a short time per machine.
You provide the collected results along with the relevant purchase records, agreements or licence information available to you. Our analysts then reconcile the technical environment against the commercial records. This is where CITRA goes beyond a software inventory. We look at the licence position.
You receive a structured assessment covering the software environment, potential licence gaps, indicative exposure and opportunities to reduce unnecessary spend. Every material finding is reviewed by an analyst before it reaches you. No raw machine dump. No black-box conclusion. Just a clear assessment you can work with.
A consolidated view of the software identified across the assessed machines, including relevant installation and system indicators.
A comparison between what has been identified technically and the licence or purchase information available.
Indicative financial exposure associated with identified licence gaps, helping management understand the potential commercial impact.
Software that may no longer be required or actively used, giving IT and procurement an opportunity to review future spend.
Automated collection is only the first step. CITRA findings are reviewed by experienced licensing professionals before the final report is delivered.
Clear reports designed for IT, procurement, finance and management, without forcing everyone to become a licensing specialist.
Alongside the PDF and Excel report, your verified assessment lives in your CITRA dashboard. Sign in, see your position, download your report.
CITRA is designed around a simple principle: your software environment is your business information.
We do not sell your assessment data.
We do not use your findings to market software to you.
We do not share your assessment with software publishers or third parties without your authorisation, except where required by law.
Assessment data is retained only for the defined period required to complete and support the engagement, and is then deleted in accordance with our data-retention policy.
CITRA is designed for businesses that want an independent assessment of their software environment without committing to another permanent IT platform.
No monthly subscription. No long-term software commitment. No permanent agent left running on your machines.
Pricing is based on the size of your environment and the scope of the assessment.
Tell us how many machines you have. We’ll recommend the appropriate assessment scope and provide a fixed quotation.
