Jan. 27, 2014 - PRLog -- SoftwareONE SAM Team Achieves Record Highs in 2013

Stans, Switzerland – January 27, 2014 SoftwareONE’s Software Asset Management (SAM)  program has achieved record breaking numbers by conducting over 1,500 SAM engagements globally in FY 2013, becoming the #1 SAM solutions provider.

“It has been an honor supporting over 1,500 customers to help them overcome their compliance, governance, and cost issues,” said Oliver Berchtold, Global SAM Lead for SoftwareONE. “With over 150 SAM consultants operating in 41 countries providing coverage to 64 countries, our ability to adapt to the needs of local markets while maintaining a global practice is unmatched by any partner in the industry. As the global leader in SAM engagements, SoftwareONE is the only partner able to deliver global projects with local support.”

Delivering over 3,000 SAM projects over the last couple of years, SoftwareONE’s SAM team helped customers achieve significant ROI with millions of USD in avoidance and savings. This required the analysis of over 8.7 million devices across every industry, including the healthcare sector, telecommunications, insurance, government agencies, manufacturing, and many more.

SoftwareONE’s SAM program helps customers optimize their software spend by analyzing end-user application usage, constructing strategic workshops designed to implement a SAM practice into the customer’s own environment, providing peace-of-mind through an Audit Protection service, and supporting customers in their software technology migration strategy. Furthermore, SoftwareONE’s Managed SAM Service provides a 3-tiered customizable approach that allows you to utilize a SoftwareONE provided SAM tool which is monitored remotely by SoftwareONE’s Central SAM Desk, enabling you to focus on your business rather than licensing.

“As the SAM program continues to grow, so too has SoftwareONE’s methodology,” explains Oliver. “SoftwareONE has shifted its focus from individual service areas and developed a new methodology called Software Portfolio Management (SPM) which provides customers with an all-encompassing roadmap for their IT strategy by combining commercial, technology, and governance/compliance processes. The SAM program’s success has played a major role in developing the SPM services.”
