Enterprises that want to get the most out of software assets must develop successful Software Asset Management (SAM) strategies. Info-Tech has found that implementing SAM best practices can save enterprises up to 30% on software licensing costs and reduce the risk of license non-compliance.
Just ask SAM is a valuable SAM resource offered by the U.K. division of the Business Software Alliance (BSA). The Web site provides decision makers with:
- SAM readiness assessment and quick diagnostic tool.
- Best practice advice for software licensing and management.
- Downloadable software management guide.
- Links to free and commercially licensed SAM tools.
Implementing SAM is essential for maintaining an accurate software inventory, tracking software usage, eliminating unused licenses, maintaining compliance, and developing meaningful software migration plans. As a world leader in compliance monitoring, the BSA can help enterprises achieve SAM best practices and drive software licensing efficiencies.
