Benefits of the SAM Programme



Smoother operations: Eliminate the security risks associated with non-legitimate software. So you can stop worrying about security problems and start focusing on running your business.

Better price points: Gain the knowledge you need to buy from your software resellers in bulk.

Better market position: Smooth mergers and acquisitions through up-to-date licensing and a comprehensive media library. Reduce time-to-market with streamlined functionality and a thorough knowledge of your existing software.

Financial security: Protect yourself from unexpected licensing costs and take advantage of tax benefits associated with software depreciation.

Eliminate waste and redundancy: Enable more effective software deployment by identifying unused software that’s still being maintained. (Always check your licence agreements, as some limit the transfer of software.)

Volume discounts: Use SAM to determine whether to buy on a per-PC basis or look into volume licence acquisition to save money and improve management when it comes to buying licences.

Every employee benefits: Reduce costs by cutting down on individual training for managers and enjoy the morale-boost of working with trouble-free software.

Liability: Use SAM to limit your legal liability in relation to licensing practices.

Future benefits: Gain better insight into your future software and hardware requirements.

Corporate governance: A good SAM programme helps you identify, control and mitigate risk.
