Software Asset Management

The guiding principle behind Software Asset Management is to uphold a clear and effective strategy and methodology, allowing a business to legitimately manage and use all software within its estate.

To practice SAM, building a knowledge of software within the estate is key. Businesses must first collect, categorise and catalogue documentation that proves the right to use software.  Clear, unambiguous policies and processes that support the usage and management of software must be implemented and maintained. Last but not least, appropriate tools must be in place to enable more efficient purchase and deployment, and to achieve ongoing compliance.

Concorde Solutions have a proven track record in delivering the benefits of software asset management to large complex organisations and smaller businesses alike. Concentrating on the following key areas enables us to deliver maximum results:

   software budgets by providing accurate information for

   applications in use, by streamlining existing software and

   implementing tools and processes to both monitor usage

   and prevent the purchase of unnecessary software.

   reduce business risk and meet contractual obligations.

   sustainable polices and procedures.
