When embarking on a Software Asset Management (SAM) programme, it is essential that your tool selection is not made in isolation – your SAM tools must match your overall requirement for IT management tools. By taking this approach, you will ensure that all your SAM processes are fully integrated with your IT management tools and that all aspects of your SAM programme are implemented and adopted effectively.
For most environments, there is a need for not one tool, but many tools to be implemented in order to achieve a successful SAM programme.
