Media Plane is a software lifecycle solution that fills the gap in software management and gives company's control of their software from purchasing through retirement. Media Plane takes existing SAM tools that may be installed at a customer premise and makes them more effective.

Media Plane:

• creates management and security roles
• configures connections to work with the existing company employee directory, portal, workflow and online catalogue
• loads purchase history and current software license allocations into the system
• maps new distribution to the licenses and old distribution mechanisms are locked down
• populates employee entitlement data
• links entitlement and deployment from the start. Since Media Plane is not locked into a single technology, enterprises can use the deployment, inventory or discovery tool that best suits their needs
