Software Asset & License Management
|
Overview
Software asset management (SAM) has become mandatory for organizations in facilitating license compliance (to avoid unbudgeted fees, penalties and reputational damage), reducing costs, and maximizing value from software investments. While most organizations today recognize the need for SAM practices, many do not know how to begin or have had disappointing results.
This seminar provides a comprehensive introduction to and framework for lifecycle software asset management (SAM), including best practices – a blueprint for SAM success. Our expert instructor – a SAM pioneer, with over 25 years of hands-on experience – offers valuable tips and insights to ensure that the approach and results meet your objectives and are consistent with industry practices.
