Software Asset Management (SAM) has become somewhat of a dirty word in the IT world. It brings to mind expensive audits where software publishers scour your environment for errors, but don't give much in return.
In reality, a comprehensive SAM strategy can deliver countless benefits and help the business reach its goals. A proactive approach can help your business cut costs and make more informed decisions.
If hearing the term "software asset management" makes you imagine vulture-like auditors, it's time to change your thinking. Try viewing this IT practice as a tax return instead:
- It may not be enjoyable, but it has to be done.
- Done correctly, there can be massive advantages.
- Get it wrong, and there are big penalties.
- Abuse the rules and you face being audited.
In this webinar, we show you how to take SAM from being a dirty word to a key piece of your business' technology ecosystem.
