Comprehensive Software Asset & License Management strategies, tools and techniques are essential for avoiding over-spending, preventing risks, improving performance, being in-line with license agreements and lowering purchase costs Comprehensive Software Asset & License Management strategies, tools and techniques are essential for avoiding over-spending, preventing risks, improving performance, being in-line with license agreements and lowering purchase costs. The consequences of under-licensing and over-spending are substantial and serious. Therefore an effective Software Asset & License Management (SAM) is not only important to become compliant but also crucial for company successes.
Companies that have implemented an integrated SAM have been able to capitalize on software license reallocation opportunities, achieve volume licensing discounts, decrease software support costs, increase infrastructure security and resilience, justify future purchasing activities, and ensure license agreement compliance.
Attending this conference will allow European IT Managers and decision-makers to uncover and retain the key to an optimal Software Asset & License Management and will provide a closer look into major players` success stories.
