How usability and security can still be combined in IT operations is now a discussion that is taking on almost philosophical proportions. In this blog post, we want to highlight the challenges that IT environments trimmed only for security and not for usability pose to users. Furthermore, we want to make some suggestions on how to keep user frustration from boiling over while maintaining adequate security measures.

Software Asset Management (SAM) is constantly confronted with technological, organizational and external changes (e.g. license model changes). Only those who actively shape these themselves will be able to keep compliance risks at bay and leverage efficiency potentials in software licensing.
Read here how our blog can support you with a 360-degree view of SAM.
