SAM adoption becoming more widespread, says KPMG
KPMG has released a report - “Software Asset Management - Mitigating Risk and Realizing Opportunities” - in which it claims that the rising cost of software licenseing and maintenance is driving more and more organizations to become aware of the importance of Software Asset Management (SAM).
The report acknowledges that SAM has suffered from a ‘nice to have’ rather than ‘must have’ perception historically, but that this is now changing as organizations appreciate both the risks of unmanaged software and the potential benefits of reduced software expenditure and better availability of software assets.
The report even goes as far as to state: “It will not be long, in fact, before companies with limited SAM capabilities will become the exception.”
