Know More about Microsoft SAM

Software asset management or SAM is the first step towards maintaining a good record of all the software and the licence available with a company. With so much software licences being purchased every day, it becomes mandatory to keep a tab of all those licences and the necessary compliances.

Why do we need SAM?

There are innumerable software licences purchased by an organisation. And, all these software has their licence compliances and maintenance procedures.  Maintaining a simple spread sheet data of all the licences with their date of installation, procedure of maintenance or licence completion date will not be feasible anymore, with quite a huge data to store and also the time spent on doing the whole process.

SAM or the software asset management technique helps in doing the same, but with the advanced techniques to aid in a much faster and efficient storage and maintenance system. And, implementing it takes a few simple steps of taking stock of the whole inventory and organising it efficiently.
