FrontRange launches SAM Suite, helps reduce IT procurement and service costs

Single-vendor solution provides software discovery, license management and lifecycle management

March 24th 2009:  FrontRange Solutions, the developer of business software for mid-sized and distributed enterprises, today announced FrontRange SAM Suite™, its new offering to help organizations realize cost savings and avoid unnecessary expenditure through improved software management.

FrontRange SAM Suite is the first product to be launched by the newly-created Infrastructure Management Group at FrontRange and helps organizations address three distinct areas of pain in their IT and business operations:  eliminating spend on unnecessary software purchases, avoiding potentially costly non-compliance fines and minimizing the administrative overhead associated with the ongoing management of software assets.

FrontRange SAM Suite comprises three core components:  Asset Discovery, License Management and Application Lifecycle Management.    FrontRange has created the new integrated solution through the acquisition of Enteo in 2007 and Centennial Software in 2008. 

Andy Burton, Vice President of the Infrastructure Management Group at FrontRange, commented:  “In the current economic climate, organizations need to realize immediate cost savings, avoid unnecessary costs and put themselves in the strongest possible position going forward.  FrontRange SAM Suite is a single-vendor solution that enables organizations to realize each of these goals.”

With increasing activity from both software vendors and licensing watchdogs, FrontRange believes that managing software licenses will be a key IT priority for 2009.

“Software asset management is one area where IDC expects IT organizations to focus more attention in these tough economic times”, said Fred Broussard, Research Director for PC, Device and IT Service Management. “One of the first steps in creating an effective SAM program is ensuring your IT organization knows exactly what software is on the network and work towards having organized, credible records of all licenses and their uses.” 

As well as ensuring the organization is sufficiently licensed, FrontRange SAM Suite can also help enterprises prevent over-licensing by enabling managers to pinpoint potential areas of duplication or disadvantageous licensing. 

Finally, by automating many of the tasks around the deployment and configuration management, FrontRange SAM Suite enables IT staff to be more productive – spending more time on adding value to the organization and less simply keeping the lights on.
