Software Asset Management - What is it?

The business community is now very aware of 'Software Asset Management' as a set of words, but how many of us actually know what it means?

Traditionally, SAM has meant little more than software compliance - ensuring that your organisation has enough licenses for the amount of software being used. The software vendors have been using FAST and the BSA to push a message of compliance for many years.

We recognise that achieving and maintaining Software Compliance is difficult, and our aim is to show you how we can provide you with the right tools and processes to make it simple? We offer various audit tools, license management tools, and, as members of ITIL, our advice on business processes is based around recognised Best Practice guidelines published by ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library)

Once these tools and processes are in place and given the SAM focus, the information then available offers many benefits to your organisation in other ways that directly affect your competitive advantage. Such as greater control of all IT related costs, more efficient use of people's time at all levels, far greater control of your assets over their life cycle, enhanced security and superior decision making on both practical and strategic levels to name but a few.

Please contact us to find out how we can specifically help you and your organisation to meet your legal obligations with the minimum of effort, and then use the information that you are collecting anyway to your best advantage within the market place.
