SAM for Procurement

The Systematic Way to Cut Costs

When budgets are squeezed, controlling costs becomes more important than ever. Software Asset Management helps you rein in your hardware and software expenditure.

Organising your software resources reduces administrative effort and saving further time and money. You identify where you need to invest and where you can cut back. At the same time, you can make the most of your existing IT investments.

 

Investing wisely

SAM-System provides a foundation for informed investment planning. Our technology gives you a complete overview of your company‘s IT resources. You can take advantage of the metering capability to identify whether particular resources are being used and how often. Ideally, this will prevent you from making unnecessary investments. For instance, it may be enough for your company to simply opt for an intelligent reorganisation of existing resources. And with SAM, you can clearly distinguish between essential and less important or unwarranted purchases.

Saving money

Do you buy from a multitude of vendors, with no supplier policy in place? This generates an enormous amount of work for your company. There is no way you can create standardised processes under these conditions. PC-WARE offers hardware and software from all vendors, which means you can purchase all the components you need from a single supplier. This automates purchasing processes and reduces costs. But there are more savings to be made: if you only have one supplier, you automatically buy higher volumes and therefore stand to benefit from better purchasing terms and discounts.

Leveraging expertise

The pace of change within the IT market is rapid. Often too rapid, without the right expertise. In such cases, it is difficult to decide which components are suitable for which company, and how they should be implemented. SAM gives you a helping hand. PC-WARE provides professional consulting on hardware and software procurement. You don‘t have to be an IT expert – count on us and we find tailored solutions to your individual requirements!

 

Controlling costs and managing risk

Software Asset Management is all about controlling costs and managing risk. The full objective of SAM is to manage, control and protect an organisation’s software assets, including management of the risks arising from the use of those software assets.

IT systems are an expensive asset: It pays to manage and maintain them properly. Our SAM Services ensure that every element of hardware and software being used is correctly licenced and that the costs involved are an accurate reflection of the company's actual requirements.

 

Every day without SAM costs money - the sooner you discover its associated savings, the better. We will provide all the support you need.
