IT structures that have grown organically over the years make it difficult to keep abreast of what software is used and how, and whether the licences are in line with the latest contractual and legal stipulations. Every unused licence costs money, and every missing licence represents an unlawful infringement of copyright. Even the unintentional misuse of software can lead to claims for damages, and every effort should be undertaken to avoid it. With PC-WARE's Software Asset Management services, you can be certain that all the software you use is properly licensed and installed in the right place. Furthermore, we can examine and optimise your procurement processes to make sure they will continue to guarantee you full legal security in the future. We have unrivalled expertise and many years of international experience in this field. Building on this know-how and the knowledge of many thousands of SAM applications, we have developed sophisticated technology for auditing all software and hardware. We are completely independent of manufacturers, fully conversant with the software manufacturers' current licensing and contract terms, and use a contract-management system that is unique in Europe. As one of the biggest licence holders in the world, we not only enjoy excellent relations with the leading manufacturers, we also offer our customers in industry, small and medium-sized businesses and the public sector the best terms for licences.

PC-WARE carries out an audit of the software products used on all the company's computers and checks the existing licence contracts, contract contents and contract periods on the basis of this information. The SAM-System that we use for our SAM services provides the necessary detailed overview. The next step is an inspection of the documentation on licences at your premises. A comprehensive report on your licence situation then gives you a clear overview of main and sublicences, ordered according to manufacturers and products, computers and structures.

Our SAM-System supports the introduction of a continuous and efficient system of software asset management. Our SAM-System is the only one of its kind in the world; it ensures precise and reliable product recognition and reliable version standardization. For the first time, this enables the administration of complete auditing projects via a single user interface - including contract management and software use. PC-WARE can also take charge of planning/design, implementation and staff training.
