Software Asset Management (SAM)

Software Asset Management (SAM) is the process of tracking and managing an organization’s software assets to ensure compliance, optimize usage, and control costs. It involves keeping an inventory of software licenses, monitoring usage, and ensuring that all software is properly licensed. SAM helps organizations avoid legal issues from unlicensed software, reduces unnecessary spending on unused licenses, and supports efficient IT operations. By managing software assets effectively, organizations can improve decision-making related to software purchases and usage while ensuring they remain compliant with software vendor agreements.
