It has never been easier to change a SAM tool!

Software is changing the world! Almost every company is a tech entity, even if the company is in the manufacturing or legal sector, a service provider, or a B2C or B2B. Everyone uses software! This means you have to manage software, and the cost of software is increasing almost by 7-10% per year. Since software is constantly changing and adding new vendors, applications, metrics and moving from on-prem to SaaS, you need a SAM tool capable of all these changes. You want an SAM tool that constantly changes with the environment. Still, the majority of SAM tools used today are heavy on-premises solutions. This is why you should move your SAM tool to the Cloud.

Reasons for Changing SAM Software

There are several to change your SAM tool.  

  • the desire to move from an on-premises to an SaaS tool set
  • to get more functionality
  • to reduce the cost of SAM software
  • you are not getting the value promised by the vendor for your current SAM too.
  • you spend too much time and money on maintenance, support and certifications
  • you want to move from a reactive to a proactive SAM and spend more time on optimization
  • the data is not good or accurate enough
  • your current solution doesn’t have Active Usage or can’t inventory SaaS applications

All these elements can be addressed by changing to a new SAM solution.
