Software Asset Management Services
We provide effective SAM programs and manage them with you, both on-premises and in the cloud. By integrating your people, processes, and technology, we guarantee compliance and optimize spend.
SAM support built around you
Do you know if you are spending too much on software, or whether you are at risk of non-compliance? It is easy for SAM to be overlooked, and without the right tools, processes, and expertise, it can be practically impossible for an organization to manage everything effectively.
We will get to know your business’ SAM maturity levels and objectives, providing tailored advice and solutions designed to help you get the most value out of your software licenses.
SAM services
A structured, end-to-end approach to building and running your SAM program.
SAM Baseline Assessment
Every ITAA SAM strategy starts with a baseline assessment. Our specialists will take the time to understand your organization and gain a thorough appreciation of your people, processes and technology, enabling us to provide tailored guidance based on your wider business context and drivers.
By tailoring this process to you, we’re able to provide a high-level roadmap that details our recommendations for your next SAM steps.
Technology Sourcing
If your SAM baseline assessment determines that you need a new tool, or if your business has decided that new software is required, we can help you take the next steps. We will provide best-in-class advice across a wide range of license management tools.
With our flexible support model, we will help you maximize the benefit and value from any new tools. This includes:
By partnering with ITAA you can be confident that you have SAM expertise on demand, from planning through to acquisition, installation to maintenance.
Detailed Planning & Execution
Having built a full understanding of your existing situation we’ll put together a comprehensive, best-in-class SAM program that reflects the needs of your business, helping manage and optimize data, make the most out of existing tools and install any new tools if required.
Often, the tools you already have in place are both suitable and appropriate but are just not being utilized correctly. This can lead to incomplete data and misleading management information.
We will collaborate with you to develop a plan that captures all of your contract information as well as accurate hardware and software usage data.
This information will be used to populate your license management tool and provide you with a reliable source of truth in order to make better decisions within your organization.
By taking a flexible partnership approach and based on your preferences, we can have varying degrees of involvement during implementation. We will address any skills gaps and train your internal team on the elements of the SAM process, helping your organization to become more self sufficient.
Managed Services
Once your SAM program is established, it is important to consider ongoing management to maintain compliance, avoid future expense and ensure tool productivity.
Think of your ITAA adviser as an extension of your company. We can guarantee that your system functions properly and offer guidance on how to maximise your licences going forward as we have a comprehensive grasp of how your licences are allocated.
Our managed services are fully tailored to your business requirements, and come in two service types:
Fully managed
We take on all optimization and compliance tasks.
Hybrid
We partner with your team, taking on more complex tasks.
Why ITAA?
Our advisors have no affiliation with any software providers. Many of them transitioned from the software world, choosing to help organizations insulate themselves from compliance risk.
Informed strategic decision making
With a thorough understanding of your software inventory and every subsequent financial impact, you can make informed decisions based on usage data and factual information. This can influence future purchasing decisions and afford you more control during vendor negotiations.
Trusted advisors
By taking the time to truly understand your organization, we provide a fully tailored service to help you achieve your SAM goals.
