5 Reasons SAM Tools Miss the Mark in Hybrid IT

The infographic “5 Reasons SAM Tools Miss the Mark in Hybrid IT” highlights the shortcomings of traditional Software Asset Management (SAM) tools in today’s complex IT environments. It identifies five major issues: visibility gaps across hybrid and cloud platforms, unoptimized engineering licenses that go unmanaged, reactive rather than proactive reporting that fails to prevent overspending, surface-level optimization that can’t handle idle sessions or simulate license pool changes, and a lack of alignment with finance and procurement, which leaves organizations without cost-per-user or department-level insights. These gaps often lead to wasted licenses, inflated renewals, bloated portfolios, and missed strategic investments, ultimately costing companies millions and slowing projects.

To close these gaps, the infographic shows how Open iT offers solutions with real-time hybrid IT visibility, deep engineering license tracking, predictive cost optimization, and department- and user-level reporting—all designed to align IT, finance, and procurement. The message concludes with a call to rethink SAM, moving beyond mere compliance to achieving cost efficiency and smarter decisions
