Topic: Dollars and $ense: Implementing a Software Asset Management (SAM) Program

Does your organization understand why implementing a Software Asset Management (SAM) program is so important? 

Join us on October 14 to learn the risks of being audited and the benefits of implementing a software asset management program at your organization.

We will discuss the Risks of being audited for software license compliance, such as:

• Receiving an audit

• The burden your organization & staff may undertake (we will discuss the audit process)

• Being out of software license compliance (financial penalties, etc)

We will also discuss the Benefits of having a software asset management program in place before you are audited and show examples of how a SAM program can:

• Save your company money in more ways than just avoiding compliance penalties

• Provide more efficient IT support

• Improve financial & IT planning for future software needs

• Assure lawful abiding of your software license contracts

Following the Risks/Benefits analysis, we will demonstrate tools that can be used to easily implement a SAM program at your organization.
