Most companies neither have the time, nor the inclination to become experts in software management. However understanding your software position is critical to the ongoing healthy operation of your business. At Trustmarque we are acutely aware of these issues, which is why we have introduced our specialist Managed Licence Services to help you deal with these daily challenges in a far more effective way.
In our experience, organisations who adopt SAM best practice can achieve up to 25 percent cost savings annually. We’ll help you to take a holistic view of the software lifecycle from deployment to retirement. We make sure that you are purchasing correctly and then we’ll help you manage the ongoing maintenance of your IT estate.
The Benefits of SAM
These benefits of SAM far outweigh the time and resource investment. Through our Managed Licence Service we will help you to deliver:
- Smoother Operations – Good SAM lets you focus on running your business and takes your mind off things like unsupported programs, viruses and security problems.
- Better Price Points - SAM will improve relations with your software resellers and give you an advantage in future negotiations. Better knowledge of your software needs enables you to buy in volume and achieve better price points.
- Better Market Position - SAM gives you a faster time-to-market with streamlined software functionality and a thorough knowledge of your existing database.
- Financial Security - A good SAM program gives you financial security from unexpected licensing costs as well as providing tax benefits associated with software depreciation.
- Corporate governance -SAM will help you to identify and manage your software risks.
- Eliminate Waste and Redundancy - Software reconciliation will show what’s not being used but is still being maintained.
- Liability - A proper SAM program limits your legal liability
- Future Benefits - SAM gives you better insight into your future software needs.
