Implementing Software Asset Management

Writing a whitepaper for the itSMF UK and FAST on the common pitfalls on implementing SAM and avoiding them. So far the things I have to worry about are: • Getting senior management buy in • Running SAM behind the scenes so it’s not perceived as “getting in the way” by both your techies and the rest of the business • Multiple sources of information • Unlocked PCs where everyone is a local admin • Managing multiple stakeholders • Managing conflicting interests If you are looking to implement SAM – are these the kind of things you’re worrying about?
