Save money

With SAM you use the licenses your company has already acquired and acquire only the software and licenses you need.

You’ll know exactly how many licenses you have for each software title, so instead of acquiring more you can re-deploy software from department to department.

SAM encourages a centralized licensing process so you can take advantage of volume license savings whenever possible.

Obtain peace of mind

You’ll always know what software and licenses you have, and can ensure the use of genuine software.

With a SAM Software Use Policy you can reduce unapproved software downloads and potential viruses that can infect your whole network.

By tracking all of your software assets you’ll have detailed information for good back-up and recovery plans should the need arise.

All of this contributes to an overall peace of mind.

Keep your data safe

SAM will help you ensure your data is secure and that you have a proper disaster recovery plan in place…just in case.

Improve business performance

Knowing what software you have, why you have it, and where it is will allow you to make informed strategic, tactical and operational decisions.

Optimize deployment

With SAM, company software needs such as upgrades and changes can be automatically identified, saving considerable time and reducing hassles for both the IT department and the employees who are using the software.

Reduce support costs

Backup and recovery systems are easier to maintain when it's clear what software goes where. In addition, standardizing desktops where possible can dramatically reduce support costs.

Increase staff productivity

By standardizing software versions, file-sharing issues are reduced and communication is easier. Users can work together seamlessly which can lead to increased productivity — and productive workers are happy workers.

Improve employee satisfaction

Information provided by SAM can help managers and employees more easily justify licensing the software they need to do their jobs, which can improve productivity, ensure deadlines are met, and increase overall job satisfaction.
