Support on operating license monitoring tools (OpenLM or equivalent) including utilization tracking.
Coordinate with vendors and internal teams to resolve issues and ensure compliance.
Maintain documentation of license inventories, servers, and processes.
Contribute development of license management solutions (M42, automation, reporting).
Contribute to BI dashboards and process standardization.
Support billing activities and reporting when required.
Skills and Competencies:
Hands-on experience with ITSM tools such as Matrix42, ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, or similar
Hands-on experience with license monitoring tools such as OpenLM or equivalent
