IAM Networks Software Licensing and Management Solutions (SLMS) offers a proven methodology to enable organizations to know exactly what they have, where it is, and whether it is correctly and most effectively licensed. Our SAM Journey methodology has four main steps. It offers a variety of service and solution components that can be combined to address the specific course your organization needs to take. Like any other business asset, you need to effectively manage your software investments to ensure they deliver their anticipated returns. Without proper software asset management focusing on the life cycle of your current and future investments, you’ll lack visibility regarding the enterprise software you currently own, vendor licensing agreement entitlements, and your software requirements. This makes it difficult to budget accurately and increases your risk of non—compliance with software vendor licensing programs. As part of the SAM Review, the HPE SLMS Maturity model will be used to assess your organization’s current SAM maturity. A targeted destination, with a plan, is then agreed together.
