Software Asset Management

Software Asset Management

Software Asset Management protects your organisation's software and helps you recognize what you've got, where it's running, and any licensing overlap. Through working with Prolinx, organisations can follow 4 key steps to implementing a SAM process:

1.Perform a Software Inventory
Begin by taking a survey of all the software installed on your company’s PCs, workstations, servers and other devices, and collect the information in a report. You can choose to do this manually or alternatively, Prolinx can provide inventory tools for the survey to be conducted automatically.

2.Match Software to Licenses
Once you’ve identified which software titles you’re using, the next step is to match your license documentation to the software itself. Our engineers will support you to demonstrate where you are over or under-licensed for certain software titles.

3.Review Policies and Procedures
Now that you’ve identified what you have and where it is, the next step is to review and/or write policies and procedures that your employees can use to ensure proper software asset management. Sample topics may include software acquisition, deployment, use and recovery.

4.Stay the Course
The final step is to establish an ongoing plan, construct a library for your media licenses and keep up your company’s documentation up-to-date.
