We manage global software publishers and each country owns a portion of these licenses. We charge them back for what they own, consume and when they are wanting to no longer use, we reallocate them to another country.
I have limited insight into our finances. However, during our quarterly All-Hands meetings we review, at a high level, performance, strategy, goals, and the overall financial and growth roadmap.
We are only exposed to/involved with our ITAM budget. We are a government entity, so investing in IT inventory has to be monitored very closely. Generally we are periodically updated as to where we are in spending vs the fiscal year budget, so we receive the go-ahead from administrators/upper management as to when we can make more purchases.
