Asset ManagementTraining

Anyone who is looking to develop or improve their Software Asset Management (SAM) skills could benefit from our SAM training sessions. Depending on the size of your organization, you may have a need for a part-time Asset Manager or may need to form a team consisting of members of your technical, legal and purchasing departments. In any case, defining the roles and responsibilities, and assigning these to a specific Software Asset Manager is the first step in setting up an effective SAM practice.

The second and often overlooked step is to provide appropriate training to the new Software Asset Manager(s) within your organization. Due to a minimal number of training options available, starting a SAM practice has often been through trial and error, has taken longer than expected to implement and hasn't always been effective.

Starting or improving a SAM practice can be fasttracked with appropriate training and a clear picture as to what formal processes have to be implemented, what strategy is best for starting an audit and continuing to manage software after the initial audit has been completed.

Some companies we've spoken with have spent a year or more pulling together their audit and have struggled with determining relevancy of the various forms of data collected, without having a strategy to make this an easily repeatable endeavor.

Using our strategies and experience, your organization can begin your software audit immediately with small initial costs and a clear plan to turn your audit process into a long-term, effective Software Asset Management strategy. We will provide strategies for managing proof of license, licensing documentation, inventory and software agreements.

Our 17+ years experience reselling software coupled with training and certifications through SIIA and IBSMA, training in ISO19770-1 policy, membership to IBSMA and auditing experience have placed us in a unique position to transfer our skills and knowledge to you and your team of Software Asset Managers.
