Software Asset Management Overview
Software Asset Management (SAM) involves monitoring and managing software licenses and inventory to track their usage, ensure compliance, and optimize costs. SAM creates accurate records of software applications, where they are used, and provides detailed analytics. Organizations can optimize their application and OS entitlement consumption by comparing actual usage with expected usage and entitlements.
