In this session, you'll get a complete overview of IBM audit readiness: what triggers audits, what IBM expects to see (including reporting and retention), common “gotchas” (sub-capacity, ILMT replacement, containers, BYOL to cloud, entitlement proof), and a practical framework for staying proactive—so audits and renewals don’t become disruptive fire drills. #IBMAudit #AuditReadiness #SoftwareAssetManagement #ITAM #SoftwareCompliance #LicenseManagement #HybridIT #CloudBYOL #Kubernetes #ITGovernance #flexera Timestamps: 2:36 – Introduction and agenda 4:10 – Focus area: IT asset management + contracts/entitlements + allocation 7:52 – Why focus on IBM (audit frequency + relationship) 8:40 – IBM risk profile (simple → high risk) 10:49 – Sub-capacity basics: ILMT/eligible tooling + reporting cadence + retention 13:01 – BYOL to cloud: inventory visibility requirements 17:46 – User-based licensing pitfalls (direct + indirect access) 20:06 – Passport Advantage reporting/audit clauses (reporting window + back maintenance risk) 23:08 – Proactive framework: prevention vs cure 27:39 – Validate licensing config + manage “unlicensed installs” before reporting 33:21 – How Flexera helps: IBM-authorised tooling, ILMT alternative, ingestion options, optimisation 38:03 – Wrap-up, CTA, and Q&A close
