Our simple advice helps you save up to 30% on software licenses safely.

How does a Software Audit look like?

  • Our experts will conduct a thorough software audit and inventory analysis, giving you a clear picture of your software assets. This is the first step in understanding where your organization stands and where it can improve.

  • Volume Purchasing: After a Software Asset Management (SAM) project, large companies typically achieve economies of scale, reducing software costs by up to 20% or more through negotiated volume purchase agreements.

    Reduction in Redundancies: When companies identify and eliminate redundant applications, they can reduce unnecessary software spending within the 10-15% range of their software budget.

    Improved Efficiency: With SAM in place, software deployment is optimized, indirectly improving productivity and efficiency for greater operational savings.

    Cloud Optimization: SAM can help companies manage and optimize cloud services, achieving average cost savings of 5% to 35%.

  • We work with you to develop a strategic roadmap for your software asset management, ensuring that your organisation is prepared for the future.

Here are a few of the most important steps in a SAM project:

We are a network of specialised SAM professionals that collaborate on sam projects to maximimise the software and hardware investments. We look for the specialist based on your environment and needs, not one the people we already have to provide you with the best advice.

  1. Comprehensive Inventory: Create a detailed inventory of all software across your environment. Understanding your current usage is vital.

  2. License Entitlement Review: Assess your current license entitlements, including terms and conditions. Ensure compliance and identify any opportunities for cost savings.

  3. Usage Monitoring: Implement a robust tracking system to monitor software usage. Identify underutilized or unused licenses that can be reallocated or retired.

  4. Vendor Management: Foster strong relationships with software vendors. This can lead to better negotiation outcomes and insight into changes in licensing models.

  5. Internal Policies: Develop internal policies that promote efficient software usage and compliance, ensuring every stakeholder understands the licensing implications.

  6. Regular Audits: Conduct regular internal audits to identify potential compliance risks and areas for improvement.

By following these steps, you can streamline software costs, ensure compliance, and ultimately maximize your ROI. If you're interested in learning more or need assistance with your SAM strategy, let's connect!
