Organisations from all over the world are becoming more aware of the legal requirements and benefits associated with the implementation of good software Asset Management (SAM) strategy.
Software Asset Management (SAM) is a vital business process that provides a system for the effective management, control and protection of software assets within your organisation.
Do you need SAM?
Ask yourself:
- How many laptops, PC’s and servers do you have?
- Do you know what software is installed?
- Are unauthorised downloads and installations reducing the stability of your systems?
- Do you have the appropriate licenses for each application in use?
If you don’t immediately know the answers to each of these questions, you should definately be thinking about SAM.
Why is SAM important for your organisation?
Software Asset Management can give you better control over your organisation’s IT environment, while eliminating the uncertainty around compliance.
What can SAM do for you?
Get Control
- Regain control of all your systems.
- Reduce technology conflicts and increase stability.
- Know what licenses you have and reduce redundancy.
- See what software you really need.
Reduce Risks
- Protect and secure your IT environment.
- Minimise security threats and prevent unauthorised software downloads.
- Stop worrying about compliance and over licensing.
Increase Efficiency
- Improve system, user and help desk performance.
- Be ready with back up and recovery plans.
- Implement infrastructure optimisation and standardisation.
