Precisely Ironstream brings auto-discovery to the mainframe. July 9, 2026 Precisely has launched its Ironstream z/OS Software Discovery for ServiceNow. It addresses the problem of software audits on the mainframe, which are often a blind spot. Failing to know what is installed creates both compliance and licence risk. The latter is something that software vendors continue to crack down on, as licence revenue is lucrative. Marianne Roling, SVP, global channel & ecosystems at Precisely, said, "For many organisations, the mainframe remains isolated from the rest of the IT environment. "With Ironstream z/OS Software Discovery, we're bringing trusted mainframe software data into ServiceNow so our customers can reduce risk, simplify compliance, and manage their entire IT environment with greater confidence and control." From spreadsheets to a single source of truth. How organisations record their software licences on the mainframe differs. Spreadsheets, asset management tools, CMDB and even Word documents are common. They are often disconnected, leaving organisations with no single understanding of their licence exposure. Miro Consulting details this in its IBM Licensing and Audit Guide, 2025. Precisely and ServiceNow are looking to change that in several ways. The first is to make the ServiceNow CMDB a single source of truth for software licensing. The second is to make this a continuous process. When IBM audits a mainframe environment, the primary data source used to establish licence compliance is the Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool (SCRT) output. IBM relies on these reports to verify that usage aligns with sub-capacity licensing terms. These allow customers to pay for only the processor capacity actually used rather than the full physical machine. This is where the continuous recording of licence usage comes in. Software usage is not a constant. IBM allows customers to flex their licence usage over a period of time, but they must record that in detail. It allows IBM to see when a customer has moved to a permanently higher state of use. At that point, it has to pay for what it is using. Systems that rely on discrete recording miss that detail and granularity. The danger is that it leaves organisations exposed to immediate licence payments and even penalties. That gets expensive quickly. IBM is not the only organisation that runs regular software audits on mainframe software usage. All the vendors in this space do so, and that increases the complexity of record keeping. Continuously updating usage inside the CMDB allows organisations to create reports that highlight compliance issues. Early awareness reduces risk. What is in the Ironstream solution? Precisely says that the Ironstream z/OS Software Discovery for ServiceNow software delivers on four key areas: * Automated Discovery: The system identifies installed z/OS software without manual intervention, ensuring the inventory is always current. * Audit Readiness: It provides a continuously updated, trusted record of software usage, ready for immediate review by auditors or compliance teams. * End of Manual Tracking: Organisations can retire spreadsheets and manual tracking processes, reducing human error and administrative overhead. * Enterprise-Wide Integration: Mainframe software becomes part of the broader Software Asset Management (SAM) programme, enabling unified reporting and control. Molly Fischer, vice president of ISV build partnerships at ServiceNow, said, "Working with Precisely helps our shared customers unlock the full value of the ServiceNow AI Platform. "Together, we're combining Precisely's mainframe data integration with ServiceNow's platform capabilities to deliver intelligent, connected experiences that drive real business value, ensuring that critical data from even the most complex enterprise environments is accurate, accessible, and ready to act on." Enterprise times: what does this mean? This is about closing the mainframe software audit gap. Bringing that data into the ServiceNow CMDB through a continuous process creates a single source of truth. For some organisations, it will show where they are paying for underused licences. For others, it will highlight areas of overuse, allowing them to cover licence costs before an audit. Given the history of the mainframe, it is a surprise that IT and operations teams are still not recording usage properly. The CMBD is not new, but the complexity of licensing is the problem. This is where automating it makes sense. From an operational perspective, this significantly lowers the time and cost associated with software audits. It also frees up operations teams to focus on keeping systems running. With mainframe skills in short supply, this benefits the organisation. Software costs are continuing to rise, and vendors are looking to extract every penny they can. They are looking closely at how licence usage is recorded and reported, and when customers are out of compliance. It will be interesting to see how quickly Precisely and ServiceNow deliver a white paper or case study showing the cost saved by customers. Azul regularly does this around the use of Java, which is heavily used on the mainframe. The question for organisations is: how many failed audits are you prepared to have?
