Online Masterclass – Software Asset Management

Software Asset Management (SAM) is the discipline that seeks to maximise the investment value in software, without exceeding the contract/ licence terms and conditions of use. The theory sounds wonderful, but the practice is well removed from merely buying a SAM suite and thinking that SAM will take care of itself.

This masterclass seeks to highlight the value of processes within SAM, including some bad-case scenarios that will provide attendees with some serious food for thought – do any of the following reflect your position with SAM?

• We have no tool in place – how can we do SAM?
• We’re very good at generating ELPs (Effective Licence Positions) but still get hammered on Software Vendor Audits
• Service Management & SAM don’t seem to play well together
• The prospect of having to know licensing scares me
• I have no idea what good SAM looks like

Facilitated by Rory Canavan, founding consultant of SAM Charter; ITAM Review ITAM Professional of the Year, and member of WG21 – the working group created to analyse and improve the ISO 19770 family of ITAM standards – this event will super-charge your understanding of SAM, and provide plenty of learning points for you to implement in your organisation.
