How to Recognize Your Software Asset Management Is Not Optimal

Lack of visibility into your software assets and insufficient internal SAM expertise lead to significant problems.

  • Significant amounts of money are wasted on non-compliance fines

  • Lack of total consistent overview of your IT landscape

  • Diminished strategic infrastructure planning capabilities

  • Preparing for a vendor audit is time-consuming and prone to errors

  • Negotiating a better deal with vendors is difficult

  • The opportunity to optimize your software assets is lost

  • Acquisitions and divestments are fraught with vendor contractual risks

  • Shadow IT becomes an issue

Imagine you have timely, user friendly, trustworthy, and company-wide integrated IT asset data that informs you instantly about the development, operational, and support costs for all IT asset details, including the “who, what, where, when, how and why”.
