This document describes how to install the ‘Add-ons’ files that are available from the downloads section. They provide vendor specific guidance and enhance the content of the “ISO/IEC 19770-1 Software Asset Management: Are You Ready?” application.

Microsoft has released 30 questions aligned to ISO/IEC 19770-1 for use by its Enterprise Software Advisors as part of the ESA 2.1 program. This set of add-ons includes these 30 questions with references to the relevant ISO/IEC 19770-1 outcomes and guidance. This allows organizations using the ESA 2.1 questions:

• to answer those questions using the this self-assessment tool, as a convenient way of providing those answers and attaching any relevant documentation;
• to benefit from the extensive guidance already provided in the self-assessment tool; and
• to have the option of using the entire ISO/IEC 19770-1 standard for a more extensive gap analysis against baseline best practice.

This set of add-ons provides best practice guidance for the management of Microsoft software in a way which is aligned with ISO/IEC 19770-1. It has been developed on the basis of extensive experience with best practice management of Microsoft software, but has not been officially reviewed by Microsoft yet and does not represent official Microsoft policy. We intend to update this guidance based on feedback from end-users and on Microsoft’s own feedback.

This set of add-ons provides best practice guidance for the management of Oracle software in a way which is aligned with ISO/IEC 19770-1. The guidance has been reviewed by Oracle, but does not represent official Oracle policy. We intend to update this guidance based on feedback from end-users and on Oracle’s own feedback from seeing it in use.

This set of add-ons provides best practice guidance for the management of Monotype Imaging software in a way which is aligned with ISO/IEC 19770-1. It is also highly relevant for best practice management of all types of font software. The guidance has been developed in cooperation with Monotype Imaging, but does not represent official Monotype Imaging policy. We intend to update this guidance based on feedback from end-users and on Monotype Imaging's own feedback from seeing it in use.

This download contains both the Work Area and Executive Summary add-ons described below.

IiS Work Area Add-on

This add-on creates a pseudo-outcome at the beginning of the engine which can be used to attach copies of general documentation when it is initially being gathered, to give it a simple place for common reference, e.g. prior to attaching it to specific outcomes where it is relevant. (The same document may be attached to multiple outcomes without duplication.)

IiS Executive Summary Add-on

This add-on creates a pseudo-outcome at the beginning of the engine which can be used to write an executive summary about the results of a self-assessment (or external assessment) exercise. This type of capability is particularly useful with a printed version of all Outcomes/Guidance/Results (generated from the ''Reporting'' section) for reporting and review purposes.
