SAM DNA Description

SAM DNA is a combination of software and a service. With an integration into existing asset management solutions, it provides a high level software recognition in a standardized format. With the service, the customer is allowed to upload the inventory to PC-WARE to provide his data for an individual DNA rendering. Depending on the choosen license model, the customer receives new DNA-setups in different periods.

• Software: The softwarepart of SAM DNA is an integration of database objects in the corresponding host asset management system. With a setup all tables and procedures are being created, which are required for the software definitions and the functionality for software calculating. With only one execution of a procedure, the software for all relevant clients is calculated and cached. The results are available for further processes.
• Product Recognition: The product recognition definitions are created by a specialized team. The customer inventory is compared with the existing recognition rules. These rules are updated and new rules are added. The definitions and the annexed calculation engine enable the creation of complex definitions for software products, which is reflected in the quality of the evaluation.
• Evaluation: The calculated software contains information about the software manufacturer, productversion and –edition, license type and up- and downgrade paths. The calculation created a list with a mapping of software and client.
• Service Depending on the choosen license (annual/monthly) the customer is allowed to upload the inventory data to PC-WARE. After DNA rendering, he receives a new DNA-Update in fixed periods (each quarter/monthly).

SAM by PC-WARE - Fully-compliant and cost-efficient

PC-WARE works in line with the internationally recognised IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). The aim of this standard, which draws on best practices, is to ensure that information technologies are tailored as closely as possible to the needs and objectives of an enterprise. Since our processes are fully ITIL-based, you can rely on us for fully-compliant professional IT services, delivered in a clear and cost-efficient way.

We base our development work on the principles of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM). This is based on the concept that to achieve ongoing success in software development; the entire process must be streamlined and optimised as a whole. In other words, software development should be a unified process – from the development request through to implementation.
