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.

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.

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.

Preparing for an inevitable software audit can seem like a daunting task. However, if you have the right measures, tools and even support in place ahead of the dreaded notification, you can not only alleviate the associated stress, but also help to limit its impact to your business.

Sign up for our next webinar at 10:00 BST on Tuesday 18th October where we’ll be joined by our partners Bechtle to understand the motivation behind the audits, and how to suitably manage the process when needed.

Join EasySAM and Addleshaw Goddard as we discuss the top advice regarding negotiating software agreements, exiting software agreements as well as how to avoid making your company a target for an audit.

With EasySAM’s wealth of knowledge around software licensing and Addleshaw Goddard’s experience in assisting people through the legalities involved in the contractual side of things, this makes for a very strong alliance to have behind you.

So whether you have had a bad audit experience in the past, are absolutely dreading the prospect of one, or simply want to build your ‘house upon the rocks’ – this is the webinar for you.

More people than ever are working remotely which makes controlling IT asset usage more difficult. Compounded with IT spend becoming decentralised and more business-unit aligned, visibility is even harder to achieve.

That’s why Snow Software is evolving its product suite – and you can find out what that means for you in our webinar with them.

Although non-compliance is less of a worry in the SaaS (and PaaS) environments of today, a new money-hungry problem has spawned from this convenience. Environments like Microsoft’s Azure and Office365, and Adobe’s Enterprise Dashboard easily accumulate legacy accounts and subscriptions that have fallen short of existing processes and remain consuming budget year on year. Join us as we join our partners TBSC to chat around the 5 main ways that you might be catching yourself out.

Host of this talk will be our very own May Turnbull, who brings a wealth of knowledge regarding the SAM industry to the table, with 11 years’ experience under her belt in on-premise and SaaS offerings.

After joining EasySAM in 2015, her passion for SAM Compliance and Optimisation has seen her progress from a Senior Software Asset Management Consultant to current day Director. May sees the new SaaS climate as something easily mis-managed and therefore believes that the average organisation can see more than the 30% Gartner suggested savings if your SaaS is managed well and she is in a great position to share some tips and tricks with anyone that can benefit.
