Software Asset Management – measure and document license agreements

Are your overlicensed or underlicensed? Software Asset Management (SAM) provides an overview of and information on your license status so that your company can use your software assets even more efficiently.

SAM’s hierarchical structure supports and simplifies the distribution of licenses within the entire organisation.

More efficient license usage

Software Asset Management is an intuitive, up-to-date tool for documenting and measuring licensess. Based on the agreements, it is easy for you to see whether you are overlicensed or underlicensed. Asset Manager complies with the ISO/IEC 19770-1 standard and is based on the ITIL framework for centralised management of licenses for businesses and organisations. The idea is that you should make efficient use of your company’s software licenses.

Manage large volumes

SAM CMDB makes it easy for license administrators to manage large volumes of licenses with varying complexity, since manual administration of regulatory requirements in the form of territorial requirements on license transfers within global organisations can be quite cumbersome.
