As well as reducing costs, improved governance of software assets throughout their lifecycle enables your organisation to:

Mitigate risk
Respond more quickly to change
Manage complexity

Computacenter’s SAM Readiness Services enable you to take genuine advantage of these sustainable business benefits.

Computacenter benchmarks your existing SAM processes against industry best practice to identify gaps that could expose your organisation to unnecessary cost and risk.

Computacenter consultants will then develop a cost-effective and pragmatic SAM strategy that brings together the right policies, procedures, people and tools to ensure sustained effective management.

There are two options available to assess your current level of SAM maturity.

SAM Workshop: Completed with SAM consultants, this interactive session identify your strengths and areas for improvement within existing control structures and processes. From this assessment of your existing SAM processes, your SAM Readiness rating is determined and you are provided with a detailed report outlining findings and recommendations.

Both services are delivered by industry-accredited consultants with ITIL, FAST and ISO 19770-1 certifications.

Computacenter also supports you in achieving vendor accreditation for your SAM efforts via SAM Accreditation services. These services include a Software Asset Appraisal, which identifies under- and over-utilised licences to minimise compliance risks and maximise costs savings.
