Know what you have – and what you need

Total visibility

Software Asset Management (SAM) helps you manage your software assets from start to finish - uncovering what’s installed, how it’s used, where you’re at risk, and where you’re overspending.

Whether you need to reduce compliance risk, prepare for vendor audits or simply get a handle on your estate, SAM provides the structure and insight to support every stage. It’s not just about software inventories - it’s about aligning IT spend to business need, enabling cost-effective renewals and preparing for a future that includes hybrid and multi-cloud platforms.

By integrating usage data, licensing models and hardware profiles, SAM turns complexity into clarity - giving you the power to act with confidence.
