Our SAM program involves dealing with all historic BASELINE licensing issues, understanding and addressing risks to OPTIMISE your licenses, and the ongoing MANAGEMENT of changes to maintain an Effective License Position.

Software asset and license management impacts organizations in different ways. We therefore break our services down so they are easy to understand, purchase and deliver and adhere to these three guiding principles. In addition, we provide outsourced managed services - delivering comprehensive reports and advice to clients, whilst removing all the pressures associated with managing software in-house. We provide a review of systems to identify the reasons behind any issues – helping our customers move from an unstructured and uncontrolled position to proactively being in control of all risks and costs surrounding software compliance.

"Companies, government entities, and academic institutions need to pay attention not only to their own software license management, but also the sources of their software. The next step for companies to take is implementing a system of software asset management (SAM), a growing field covering the use of special tools and services to manage software assets, maximize their productivity, and reduce their overall IT costs."
