SAM 360°: What can you expect from our blog?
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.
Our blog is comprehensive, up-to-date and impartial!
In our blog, we would like to shed light on the trends and developments in SAM in the areas of organization, processes, tools and, of course, software manufacturers, classify them and provide solutions or illustrate them with practical examples. In doing so, we will take different perspectives in combination with our vendor-neutral view. In this manner we obtain a 360-degree view of SAM.
The goal of our blog is to provide you with news and interesting insights into topics around software asset management and some food for thought for your work. This is based on our longstanding experience as independent SAM consultants on strategic and operational level as well as adjacent areas for medium-sized companies as well as international corporations. In addition, we provide the “Vendor Observer Competence Center (VOCC)” service for VOICE e.V. since 2019. We offer a monthly situation report with news regarding strategic position, technological developments, license and contractual changes as part of the service. All our insights and discussions from our projects and services are incorporated into our posts and are complemented with interviews and articles from subject matter experts.
Benefit from our expertise! Now, we offer you our impartial analyses, comments and recommendation also on our blog.
Our blog is for everyone – from IT management to SAM experts!
We support all of you from your daily operations to long-term strategic development - regardless of whether you work in IT management, as vendor manager, purchasing, license/contract management or in another area associated with cloud and software contracts or licenses. You certainly will find something for you in our blog.
We provide you with comprehensive information and intelligible articles concerning SAM topics for different target groups – e.g. “Which SAM-topics have strategic importance for CIOs?” or “Which new challenges arise with cloud usage and how does it change software asset management?”
Beyond that we address specialised topics as well concerning for example governance and processes, cloud spend optimization, licensing contracts and vendor-specific licensing terms.
Our longstanding experience in a wide variety of SAM projects are available to you just at the click of a mouse – ranging from strategic processes and organisational structures to negotiation or audit support as well as tool selection.
