The Future of Software Licensing: The Importance of an Optimal License Model in Divestitures
When a company spins off a business unit, the spotlight often shines on financials, operations, and IT infrastructure. Yet, hidden within the fine print of software contracts lies a strategic lever that can make or break the success of a divestiture: licensing. In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, where hybrid cloud, SaaS, and AI-driven platforms reign supreme, software licensing has transcended its role as a mere compliance checkbox. It has become a critical enabler of agility, innovation, and cost control. However, many organizations still underestimate the complexity and opportunity embedded in licensing decisions during a carve-out or spin-off.

The $100B Quarter: What It Means for Your Next AI Contract
AI infrastructure sourcing is undergoing a seismic shift as enterprises face volatile compute availability, energy costs, and rapid hardware refresh cycles. Traditional cloud-based pricing models are being replaced by dynamic contracts that secure throughput, align with energy indices, and guarantee upgrade paths. This new economic landscape demands strategic negotiation moves, including capacity reservations, energy-indexed pricing, and portability safeguards. By adopting these practices, organizations can protect their AI investments, ensure scalability, and avoid vendor lock-in as use cases expand.

Power is the New Procurement: Buying Compute + Kilowatts Together
As AI workloads scale, the true cost of compute is no longer measured in tokens or instances; it is measured in kilowatts, carbon intensity, and latency thresholds. This shift demands a new commercial playbook where energy becomes a first-class contract term. Enterprises must now co-price compute with power, embed energy-indexed clauses, and negotiate for sustainability-linked incentives. Avasant’s AI Contract Intelligence framework helps organizations future-proof their sourcing strategies by integrating energy terms across the compute stack, from hardware to application. The result: predictable costs, assured capacity, and measurable ESG impact.

Pre-Merger Contract Assessment
In mergers and acquisitions (M&A), pre-merger contract assessment is a critical step in due diligence. Before any deal is finalised, organisations must thoroughly review existing contracts to identify risks, obligations, and opportunities that could impact the transaction’s success. This process ensures that both legal and financial exposures are understood, regulatory requirements are met, and integration planning is informed by accurate information. By focusing on contract assessment early, companies can avoid costly surprises and lay the groundwork for a successful merger or acquisition.
