Software Asset Management (SAM).
Optimise software costs and maintain compliance with Software Asset Management.
If it feels like your software costs are spiralling out of control, you’re not alone. Software Asset Management (SAM) can help you regain control, ensure compliance and achieve cost savings. As software and cloud services are at the heart of any organisation, it’s important you’re getting the most out of your critical resources. With the rise of anywhere working and hybrid workplaces, SaaS solutions and cloud services enable flexibility, scalability, connectivity and more.

By taking steps to actively manage, control and optimise software and cloud services procurement, you can get more of your licenses and realise savings that can go back into your IT budget. We can fully manage your software landscape, helping you maximise your IT spend, eliminate unused resources and remove the hassle of licensing, renewals and asset management from your internal teams. And we’ll do all of this while providing you will complete peace of mind that your licensing is compliant.

Get Started with a Software License Review.
If you’re looking at engaging with an IT partner for Software Asset Management, a Software License Review is a great place to start. A Software License Review is essentially a deep dive into your SaaS and cloud landscape to gain full visibility of your current estate. This includes an assessment of amounts and types of licenses you currently have, how well they are (or aren’t) being utilised, overlapping or conflicting licenses and more. Software License Reviews should be performed regularly as licensing often changes. Regular reviews are included within our Software Asset Management service.
Whether you simply want a standalone review or are looking to take the first steps toward a full Software Asset Management service, our software licensing specialists are here to help you optimise your software landscape. Plus, with our expertise in IT consultancy, we can also provide consultations and guidance to completely refresh and redesign your software strategy.
