The document discusses the benefits of collaboration in software asset management. It describes how the University Software Licensing Community collaborates to reduce costs and optimize software investments. Members include over 100 people from 40+ universities across Australia and New Zealand. Through collaboration, the community has negotiated software contracts, developed best practices, and established tools and annual meetings for information sharing. Working as a group allows members to leverage their combined expertise, avoid being divided by vendors, and achieve results greater than any one member could alone.
