The Microsft SAM Programme
Simple Software Asset Management through The Microsoft SAM Programme
Software Asset Management (SAM) is the development and implementation of a set of procedures and policies, enabling you to manage and optimise your software assets effectively. Your software licences are valuable assets, it’s important to know what you have and how they’re used.
SAM helps determine what software licences you own, where they are deployed, when to retire and when you are eligible for new upgrades. SAM also helps you accurately recapture the costs and benefits associated with the investment in the software you use.
The Microsoft SAM Programme helps you make the most of your Microsoft software investment, and working with Insight, you gain a clear, structured framework to get you started.
