With IT environments that are now more complex than ever, you may find yourself struggling with a hodgepodge of commercial, open-source, and custom-developed applications spread across legacy and cloud environments. And adding AI to your technology mix will make things even more complex.

Software asset management (SAM) can give you control over the chaos. The insights you gain from your SAM program can help you cut costs, boost employee productivity, and minimize your security and compliance risks. 

Check out our guide to learn how to build a successful SAM program. You will learn:

  • Why SAM programs fail—and how to ensure yours drives value
  • 7 steps to an effective SAM program
  • The #1 way to spot software licensing issues so you can cut costs without impacting your workforce
  • How a SAM tool can help (but why you shouldn’t rely on tools alone)

Already have a SAM program? This guide will show you how to drive more value from it.
