You may be unsure of how to start implementing a Software Asset Management (SAM) plan and have limited resources at your disposal.
That’s why we have introduced a structured programme called The Microsoft SAM Programme to help you. The Microsoft SAM Programme provides a series of steps to follow in order to complete the first and most complex part of implementing SAM within your organisation - the software review stage – and takes you through your SAM plan, all the way to completion and certification by Microsoft.
Recognising SAM Success
We would like to work with you in an open and transparent way. Taking part in the programme involves sharing information with us, and we think it’s important to offer something in return. So we’ll provide:
| • | A SAM 1 day complimentary training course (to register please complete the permissions document to enrol into the programme). |
| • | A certificate stating that we should not have to review you for 12 months after successful completion of the programme |
You are entitled to choose a Microsoft SAM qualified partner who will offer you a complimentary SAM consultation in which you will get independent SAM advice tailored to your business. With their Microsoft licensing expertise and their SAM experience at your fingertips, you’ll have one less thing to worry about.
If you adopt a SAM strategy you will see clear, tangible benefits:
| • | Be in control of your software assets |
| • | Stay legal |
| • | Avoid the risks of counterfeit software |
| • | Save money (typically up to 30% in the first year) |
But don’t just take our word for it.
“SAM has promoted the smooth running of business processes. Less time will be absorbed by routine tasks… It provided a framework for us to turn an area of potential concern into an area of confidence, even comfort. I would definitely recommend the SAM process to other companies.” HW Fisher
