SAM: How to reduce costs on your Software Licensing

Our SAM services will help you avoid the costs generated from unused programs, their features, installation and support. On average, costs can be reduced by 10 to 20 percent, meaning that there is a definitive return on investment by implementing SAM.

When an IT infrastructures has grown organically over the years, it makes 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 represents wasted expense 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 licenced and installed in the right place.

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. A comprehensive report on your licence situation then gives you a clear overview of main and sub-licences ordered according to manufacturers and products, computers and structures.

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 our knowledge of software licensing and of many SAM implementations, we have developed sophisticated technology (SAM-System) for auditing all software and hardware. We are completely independent of manufacturers, fully conversant with the software manufacturers' current licencing and contract terms, and use a contract-management system that is unique in Europe and Africa. 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 large corporations, small and medium-sized businesses and the public sector the best terms for licences.

Our aim is ensure that you get the best benefits out of your software portfolio by implementing one of our unique and professional SAM solutions.
