Essentials for SAM

 

Essentials for SAM complements AssetStudio™ Licence Management and Compliance perfectly. Essentials for SAM follows Microsoft's recommended 4 step process to implement Software Asset Management. It contains resources for Microsoft licensing that will help you understand license entitlement for all Microsoft products and what's needed to gather the inventory metrics to establish your true license and inventory levels. No SAM tool can provide a 100% automatic solution for Microsoft licensing so "essentials for SAM" contains a step by step guide to help you implement all the manual processes you need to establish compliance.

 

Advice on performing your true up is included so you can save money wherever possible and still be legal. Implement the key SAM processes that keep you legal and minimise risks. Then move on to the processes guaranteed to lower the total cost of ownership of your software assets.
