The global pandemic has permanently altered the work environment of many companies worldwide. Although restrictions have been lifted in many places, most employees are choosing to still work from home at least some of the time. This new workforce dynamic is bringing new challenges in software license management and usage optimization for many companies. Vendors are also continuously introducing new licensing methods, which adds even more complexity. In this session, we will discuss strategies in effectively tracking your software assets — wherever they are — and staying on top of your SAM initiatives in this “new normal”. |
