How SAM.Suite benefits you
Reduce IT expenditure
By eliminating unnecessary software purchases and identifying under-used assets, organisations can optimise the use of existing resources. Furthermore, having a complete view of software usage, organisations can negotiate better licensing programs as well as support and maintenance contracts with vendors.
Achieve license compliance
SAM.Suite enables organisations to keep on top of software installations, usage and entitlement and, therefore, avoid crippling compliance fines and associated damage to the business (negative publicity, lost customers, reduced share price etc.) due to vendor audit failures.
Improve IT planning and management
By tracking the status of currently-deployed assets and understanding the organisation’s licensing position, SAM.Suite helps managers plan and track IT initiatives with greater accuracy - avoiding costly delays and unwelcome surprises.
Reducing the need for Licensing Experts in the field
SAM.Suite uses an intuitive web interface to provide distributed role-based access to the solution. Coupled with Centennial's unique hosted software catalog, the result is a simplified data entry activity which mitigates the need to transfer licensing knowledge to staff in remote offices (who can capture proof of entitlement from local purchases). Only the assigned Compliance Manager gains a company wide overview of vendor compliance positions ensuring confidentiality and audit control at all times.
