Today we are releasing a new white paper to help organizations quantify the value of Software Asset Management (“SAM”) solutions. The paper discuss the benefits of Software Asset Management and follows a structured process to help calculate the potential return on investment and build the business case to support a SAM investment.
“Software Asset Management (“SAM”) systems combine processes and technologies to improve the way software applications are utilized, tracked, and managed throughout all phases of their lifecycle. There are many advantages that can be achieved through the use of SAM. Improved application performance and increased productivity of both IT staff and end users are chief among them.
SAM offers significant financial benefits, lowering the total cost of software ownership and accelerating the return on software investment. According to Christopher Germann, senior research analyst at Gartner Group, “organizations can realize cost savings of between 5 percent and 35 percent by implementing focused software asset management practices.”
This paper provides an overview of software asset management and its key benefits. Additionally, it highlights the areas where an SAM solution can deliver the most tangible, quantifiable cost savings to an organization. Readers will also learn how to calculate the potential return on investment (ROI) on SAM in order to present senior management with a compelling business case for the solution.”
