In many organizations, software is still managed in a fragmented way: licenses are kept in spreadsheets, purchases are made without comparing them to actual usage, and outdated versions continue to run in production.

This leads to common issues such as:

• paying for licenses and subscriptions that are never used,
• maintaining systems that no longer add value to the business,
• overspending on licenses due to a lack of accurate data on usage (cores, processors, virtual machines),
• non-compliance uncovered during vendor or regulatory audits, resulting in financial penalties.

Left unaddressed, these challenges cause software costs to rise year after year, stretching IT budgets and creating additional financial and cybersecurity risks. 

Our Approach

Building effective SAM begins with auditing existing processes and data sources. At the foundation is centralized inventory, supported by solutions like Device42, BMC Helix, or the ITSM platform Freshservice. At a more mature stage, advanced platforms such as Snow and Flexera One are introduced, seamlessly integrating with ERP, CMDB, and procurement systems. This approach aligns with international standards (e.g., ISO/IEC 19770-1), provides accurate data, removes duplication, and creates a solid foundation for long-term software asset management. 

Business Value

With a structured SAM program, organizations can:

• eliminate unnecessary subscriptions
• right-size license usage
• reduce support costs
• avoid unplanned expenses triggered by audits.

The result is more accurate budgeting and greater predictability of IT spending.
