Software Asset Management (SAM) Essentials

The reputation of your organisation is at risk if you do not have appropriate processes in place to prove your compliance with software licencing laws. Software Asset Management is more than demonstrating good governance, it is about maximising the benefit and minimising the cost of owning these business critical assets.

ProActive's Software Asset Management 3-day course will explain the importance of maintaining a register of software assets (SAM DB) and controlling licencing including procurement, redistribution, supply chain verification, authenticity, Proof of Licence, the various types of licences, ISO 19770 and simple copyright law. The course covers the ITIL Software Asset Management book plus adds important information relevant to the topic not represented in ITIL.

Course price includes course materials and handouts, examination and GST.
