At FisherITS, we have developed a comprehensive portfolio of Software Asset Management services and solutions from our 20 years of distilled experience in Contract and Licence Compliance Audits. At its core, our services and solutions are designed to assist organisations to:
– Gain total visibility of their software assets’ ownership and liability.
– Reduce risk of over or mis-deployed software to avoid financial penalties.
– Optimise software contact cost and improved asset utilisation efficiency.
Collaboratively, our team of over 20 licensing experts deliver Licence Assurance & Advisory and Managed Software Asset Management (SAM) Services to organisations across all industries globally.
Many of our peers see Software Asset Management as a ‘bean-counting’ exercise. Based on the belief that visibility of physical IT assets and software installations inventory will address most challenges in SAM, many developed SAM methodologies driven by hardware and software inventory and are often tool-centric.
While we see importance in hardware and software inventory, we have a very different vision and approach to SAM. Having witnessed countless failures of tool-centric SAM implementations in our 20 years licensing audit history, we believe the four key success criteria for Software Asset Management are (please condense)
We have therefore designed all of our services and solutions around these success criteria, so that we can provide actionable intelligence to guide organisational changes and eventually help our clients realising the value of SAM.
