Beyond just Licence Management

An effective SAM Strategy is more than just a single point exercise, rather it is a continuous key Business Process which will provide:-

• Ongoing Risk awareness
• Continued Budget accuracy
• Planned and intelligent road maps
• Reliable Vendor negotiation data

SAM Practice has a range of Managed Services designed to implement the processes and procedures to maintain your optimised Licence position. As with all of SAM Practice offerings, services and options have been developed to suit every customer requirement. We can help you decide which services are best suited to your business and develop a solution to efficiently and cost effectively manage software licensing, compliancy and risk on an ongoing basis.

The key goal of an ongoing SAM strategy is to install confidence and offer a high degree of continuing cost control. SAM Practice helps you achieve this by :-

• Understanding your Risk - by understanding your software risk you will reduce the fear and confusion within your organisation of non-compliance. You will be in a better position to understand your legal and regulatory obligations and any risk to the reputation of your business as a result of deemed non-compliance.
• Implementing Cost Control - with understanding comes control. By implementing an effective SAM strategy you will be able to reduce the direct costs of your software and other related assets. This will also deliver time and resourcing benefits and improve your financial management.
• Giving you Competitive Advantage - once in control, you will be able to make better quality decisions. For example, companies can undertake a quick audit before a meeting with their software vendor and be in a position of strength to negotiate better terms. You will be able to optimise your IT estate, deploying new systems quickly, enabling your business to respond faster to market opportunities.
