Software Asset Management & Licensing Services
Troy Parker – SAM & Licensing Services Manager
What is SAM?
• 30% of an IT’s budget per year is spent on software.
• Software assets do not have the same set of characteristics as other business assets.
Software is intangible.
Software is never owned ... it is licensed.
Software can only be used according to a set of legal terms and conditions.
There are a number of risks (legal, financial, and security) directly associated with the use of software.
What is SAM?
• Software Asset Management (SAM) is a vital set of business practices (which includes people, policies, procedures and technologies) dedicated to the effective management of Software Assets.
• The objective of SAM is to maximise an organisations return on its investment in software assets and to mitigate the risks associated with software use.
