What Is Software Asset Management (SAM)?
Software Asset Management (SAM) refers to the systematic tracking, management, and optimization of software assets, from procurement and deployment to maintenance and decommissioning. For instance, SAM helps automate the identification and monitoring of software installations with analytics on usage patterns.
A key component of software asset management is integrating with the existing IT ecosystem, including CMDB and ERP systems. Software needs must also be predicted, license usage optimized, and future requirements forecasted.
