Introduction

Software asset management (SAM) is an important corporate capability that can help organizations to optimize IT licensing expenditure, reduce human resource overhead, and mitigate the compliance risks intrinsic to owning and managing software assets.

Features and benefits
  • Snow’s SAM portfolio, comprising Snow Inventory, Snow License Manager, and Snow Distribution, covers the entire software lifecycle.
  • Applications are identified in accordance with the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) standard.
Highlights

Previously, many enterprises have felt overwhelmed by the effort involved in initiating and operating robust SAM processes and supporting technologies. However, this is not necessarily true anymore, with modern SAM offerings, such as those from Snow, providing a cost-effective, resource-efficient, enterprise-wide solution.

Your key questions answered
  • Should be considered by any mid-sized or large organization wishing to reduce IT costs by making better use of existing desktop and server software.
  • In addition to organizations seeking better cost control, License Manager is suited to those that need to meet rigorous compliance demands.
