With SAM you’ll use your company’s existing licenses and acquire only the software and additional licenses you need. SAM eliminates waste, overlap and redundancy throughout your organization and lowers the costs associated with buying and maintaining your software library.

A good SAM program lets you know exactly how many licenses you have for each software title. Often times, instead of acquiring additional licenses you can simply re-deploy software between departments or PCs. *

* Please note that certain license agreements may limit the transfer of software. Check your agreement(s) before transferring software.

SAM also encourages a centralized licensing process which allows you to take advantage of volume discounts whenever possible. With SAM you get all this plus you can:

Backup and recovery systems are easier to maintain when it's clear what software goes where. Additionally, standardizing desktops can dramatically reduce support costs.

With SAM, upgrades, virus protection and patches can be automatically identified, saving you time and reducing hassles for your IT department and for the employees using the software.

You’ll know where you stand with your software and licenses, plus have peace of mind knowing that you’re using genuine products with all their associated benefits.

With a SAM Software Use Policy you can reduce unapproved software downloads and the potential viruses that often come with them. Plus, by tracking all your software assets, you’ll have detailed information for good backup and recovery plans should the need ever arise.

SAM will help to ensure your data is secure and that you have a proper disaster recovery plan in place.

Knowing what software you have, where it is and where it’s best used allows you to make informed, strategic, tactical and operational decisions.

SAM provides key information that helps managers and employees justify their software needs; improving overall productivity, ensuring deadlines are met, and increasing overall job satisfaction.

By standardizing software versions, file-sharing issues are reduced and communication is made easier throughout your organization. Users are able to work together seamlessly which leads to increased productivity.
