- Rising software usage creates growing costs and risks that make Software Asset Management programs increasingly important.
- A successful SAM program should go beyond license compliance and focus on optimizing license and application usage.
- Open iT supports SAM programs with module-based reporting tools that meter, analyze, and optimize IT asset usage.
Software usage across the enterprise has been climbing steadily for five years, and so have the risks: compliance exposure, license waste, and unbudgeted true-ups when an audit lands. A traditional SAM program built around compliance alone catches some of this but misses the bigger lever — optimizing how licenses and applications are actually used. A successful SAM program treats compliance as the floor, not the ceiling, and Open iT's module-based reporting tools give SAM leads the metering, analysis, and optimization layer to drive measurable cost reduction on top of it.
More and more business organizations realize the rising costs and risks related to expanding software usage. Many top corporations around the world are beginning to invest in an efficient Software Asset Management (SAM) program in order to take control of these growing costs and negative possibilities.
An important challenge for a successful SAM program implementation is for the organization to go beyond simple compliance. It is not enough to achieve license compliance; the ultimate goal is to have a SAM tool that focuses on how to optimize licensing and application usage.
With module based, user-friendly reporting tools, Open iT helps effectively in metering, analyzing and optimizing IT assets usage. Find out which solutions will fit the needs of your organization. Schedule a live demo today!
