									<p>Since growing in adoption, the reasons why organisations implement Software Asset Management (SAM) have been changing quite radically over the years. These changes have been brought about by a mixture of internal and external factors acting on enterprises, causing them to continually refine and update the required outcomes of their SAM activities.</p><p>The fact remains that you’re never actually ‘done’ when it comes to implementing a SAM program. SAM is continually evolving, and those involved in implementing it have been forced to recognise and embrace this if they are to fully realise all the potential opportunities and benefits.</p><p>So, join us and our new partners Sonar Clarity as we look at how software asset management has changed over the years – from traditional on-premise licensing to its incorporation into the wider ITAM philosophy to the rise of SaaS – and discover what the future holds.</p>								</div>

									<p>In today&#8217;s digital age, software is an integral part of every business operation. However, managing software licenses, versions, and updates can be a complex and time-consuming task, leading to high IT costs and risks.

									<p>Mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) have become a common business strategy for companies seeking to expand their operations, market share, and profits. However, the M&amp;A process is complex and involves several challenges, including managing IT assets. In today&#8217;s digital age, IT assets are crucial for businesses, and managing them effectively is essential for a successful M&amp;A.</p><p>IT asset management (ITAM) is the process of managing an organization&#8217;s IT assets, including hardware, software, and data, throughout their lifecycle.
