Software Asset Management Services
Once you have achieved software licence compliance, we want to ensure this status is maintained. Using our unique licence management tool, Licence Dashboard™, we have developed two additional services that will ensure your software asset management process remains firmly on track:
SAM Process Definition Service (incorporating Licence Dashboard)
This unique programme defines your organisation’s Software Asset Management processes, identifying what activities take place, what interfaces are used and what outcomes are expected.
Aligned with recommendations outlined in the ISO/IEC 19770-1 Software Asset Management standard and ITIL Best Practice framework, we can provide comprehensive services related to the design and implementation of SAM.
SAM Managed Service
Managing, controlling and protecting the software assets within your organisation is a challenge -predominantly due to a lack of knowledge, systems, processes and resources. Outsourcing this task, therefore, could be the most reliable and cost effective way of fast-tracking your organisation’s objectives.
With careful management of the full software lifecycle, we can help you realise the following benefits:
-
Take control of your software and licence inventories by using License Dashboard to combine all licence register and software audit information into a single reporting tool
Gain access to a feature-rich, real time eProcurement tool that enables effective management of the full procurement lifecycle, including managing requests, renewals, quotes, approvals, orders and reports
Ensure all purchases of software are correctly specified and procured using the most cost effective agreements
Ensure all purchases of software licences are correctly recorded and loss of entitlement is significantly reduced
Continued aggregation of your organisation’s installation rights is managed, helping ensure ongoing maintenance of your compliance status
Make more informed purchasing decisions, thus reducing the risks of overspend
Achieve better visibility of your central purchasing arrangements and contracts, thus ensuring that the correct licences/maintenance are procured under the correct discounted purchasing agreements
By combining the skills and knowledge of our licensing specialists with the functionality of our powerful business tool, License Dashboard, we can help you take control of your software assets and fully understand your software entitlement.
