The Screwdometer: Where Do You Stand?
Gauge how “screwed” you are when it comes to managing your software licences, and get the right guide to help you improve.
Are you confidently in control or unknowingly paying too much?
Three Levels on the Screwdometer:
1
Totally Screwed (Red Zone)
- You don’t know what your “shelfware” is, but you know you’re paying for it.
- Your licence usage isn’t routinely tracked, and you’ve probably been hit with compliance penalties.
- You accept whatever the vendor says and don’t have the time and/or resources to question it.
Feeling totally screwed? You don’t have to be overwhelmed by your current software setup—help is here.
2
Unsatisfied (Yellow Zone)
- You have a basic understanding of your software usage but don’t regularly review it.
- You occasionally check for unused software but aren’t always proactive.
- You accept standard vendor pricing uplift without much negotiation.
Feeling unsatisfied? You’re on the right track but know there’s room for improvement.
3
Satisfied (Green Zone)
- You regularly track software usage and match it with your entitlements.
- You proactively renegotiate contracts to avoid price hikes.
- You have a process for keeping an eye on shelfware.
Feeling satisfied? That’s great, but you can always do more to stay on top.
