Software Asset Management Essentials (SAME)

ITIL Software Asset ManagementThe 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.

TESTIMONIAL

"The software asset management course has really helped me understand the value of software assets to an organisation. I believe that as a licensing and provisioning specialist I can bring the many benefits to the organisation that come with sound SAM processes. The ProActive Services trainer was highly professional, delivering the content in an enjoyable manner but more importantly the content was very educational. The information can be translated into the real world work environment. I am eager to attend more ProActive courses in the future to expand on what I have learned so far."
