Get Smart with SAM Balanced Licensing
SAM Makes IT Simple
It’s always beneficial for a client to have an accurate view of their software and licensing landscape—it’s about balancing and determining where they might be over-licensed, or under-licensed. Software publisher licensing rules have become increasingly complex, and as a result, non-compliance from a shortfall perspective or overage perspective, is on the rise. A SAM engagement is designed to alleviate both risks at the same time. And as a result of the assessment, the environment is not only compliant, but businesses gain better control over what is owned versus what is actually being utilized.
How It Works
Over the course of 30 days, we‘ll review and evaluate their existing SAM processes, policies, and tools, and compare them against the established SAM optimization model. At the end of the engagement they will receive a summary of our findings and our recommendations. We will also outline the risks and benefits of their current state and the associated ROI from any improvements.

Maximize Efficiency, Minimize Risk
Clarity and visibility into any environment is critical. Every environment is fluid due to time, users, and vendor oversight. Ideally, inventory of their software should become a repeatable process on an annual, biannual, or even quarterly basis—whatever makes most sense for their organization. Some reasons they might consider an assessment are:
• Business case development: use SAM to justify changes to their IT infrastructure
• Staffing changes: manage the impacts organizational change can make to overall software usage
• Waste reduction: track software inventory, find and reassign lost assets, and reduce cost by buying only what they need
• Matching licensing to processes: increase alignment to optimize assets and improve ROI
