Many companies today are under-licensed on their software and risk paying hefty fines to the big vendors. But top execs are not always aware of the problem.

Big thanks to all our clients and our staff for a fantastic spring season. Now it's time to grab a cold drink in the sun, find a good book and recharge the batteries. See you soon in early August.
