Employee Shane H Posted October 16 Employee Share Posted October 16 (edited) Workspace ONE Intelligence now offers Software Asset Management (SAM) in Limited Availability for Employee Experience customers. SAM provides users with a strategic approach for identifying application inventory and tracking usage. This capability is key for helping organizations optimize software license cost, enforce compliance, and reduce security vulnerabilities. As technology continues to evolve, this function has become more critical than ever for businesses Quote Through 2027, organizations that fail to centrally manage Software life cycle will remain five times more susceptible to a cyber incident or data loss due to incomplete visibility into Software usage and configuration. Through 2027, organizations that fail to attain centralized visibility and coordinate Software life cycles will overspend on SaaS by at least 25% due to unused entitlements and unnecessary, overlapping tools. *Gartner’s 2024 SaaS Management Report Use Cases Software Asset Management is a tall order for any organization and is a critical process for every IT team. To effectively track usage you need a robust set of tools to provide you with all of the data points to get the job done. The Workspace ONE SAM solution provides IT teams with essential data about applications to help organizations: Deliver Cost Savings: Optimize utilization of existing licenses and avoid unnecessary software purchases. Reduce Security risks: Remove unused applications to reduce software sprawl and minimize your attack surface. Drive Compliance: Identify outdated applications to maintain compliance with vendor and industry standards. Improve efficiency: Simplify software administration with Freestyle and Hub - request fulfillment, onboarding, off-boarding, and license reclamation. Enhance decision-making: Provide accurate data on software usage and costs that your organization can leverage for important decisions. Components Implementing a comprehensive SAM process requires a broad technology set. The Omnissa SAM solution offers key components to support your team with the following: Portfolio Inventory: Accurately identify all software assets deployed within the organization, including both licensed and unlicensed software. Implement a comprehensive process to maintain accurate inventory of all applications across your enterprise. Discovery: Identify unsanctioned software use and costs to prevent shadow IT from spreading and confidential data from being stored in unapproved applications. Usage: Ensuring that software usage aligns with the terms and conditions of your contract. Consistently perform audits of software and update the terms of your agreement as required. Compare: Consolidate applications with similar capabilities. This reduces IT overhead and cost for “like” apps. By effectively managing software assets, organizations can optimize their IT investments, reduce costs, and mitigate risks. Want to test this out and see what it’s all about?
