Benefits of SAM – Competitive Advantage
Implementation of an effective Software Asset Management “SAM” process will help drive competitive advantage in the following ways;
Greater Quality Management Decision Making;
Having an accurate view of your software assets in real time, facilitates better quality management decision making. SAM can provide the transparency required to allow IT departments be assessed against key business priorities.
Improved time to market;
An effective SAM program will allow your enterprise to complete a controlled roll out of new technology when market conditions require new functionality to react to new customer requirements or competitive threats.
Failure to implement SAM may give competitive advantage to others.
Ease of Integration post merger or acquisition.
Software Asset Management and the ability to implement it rapidly into new business units will facilitate quicker integration post merger or acquisition. This will enable your enterprise to realise the technological & business benefits of a merger or acquisition in a shorter timeframe.
