App Points/License Consultant

Role overview

Assess and model software licensing needs for a large deployment of an enterprise asset management platform. The consultant will examine user access, account types, and usage patterns to recommend appropriate license classifications and estimate current and future demand. The resulting analysis is intended to inform procurement, compliance, cost management, and implementation planning.

Requirements

- Experience with the platform’s licensing, user classifications, application access structures, and software entitlements. - Ability to analyze large user populations and system usage data. - Strong spreadsheet skills for reconciliation, scenario modeling, analysis, and reporting. - Ability to interpret software contracts, entitlement documents, and licensing terms. - Understanding of licensing considerations for human users, service accounts, integrations, and nonproduction environments. - Strong documentation and stakeholder communication skills, including explaining complex findings to technical and business audiences.

Nice to have

- Experience with license assessments or optimization, software reviews, renewals, or procurement. - Familiarity with related mobile, scheduling, assistant, or integration capabilities. - Experience with utility operations, outage usage patterns, SOX controls, or regulated environments.
