SAM (Software Asset Management)

Software Asset Management (SAM) is a structured approach to managing and optimizing a company's software licenses, usage, and related assets. It ensures that the organization uses the right software, in the right quantities, and complies with licensing agreements, helping to avoid legal issues and reduce costs. SAM involves tracking software investments, maintaining an inventory, and implementing policies for procurement and usage. By doing so, businesses can improve efficiency, prevent unnecessary expenses, and make informed decisions about software investments, ultimately aligning software assets with organizational needs and compliance standards.
