Through the use of automated Software Asset Management (SAM) tools, enterprises have the opportunity to optimize license spending and reduce associated costs. Employ SAM technology to track which software exists on PCs and servers, monitor usage, and unlock significant savings by reducing license bloat.
How This Saves Money
License bloat occurs when enterprises overbuy software. The most common reasons for this are poor software inventory management, a failure to harvest unused licenses, and vendor hype. For example, consider what happens when new employees are hired. Often, software licenses are automatically purchased for new users before considering the licenses that may already exist.
