Software sourcing is the sequence of processes and steps involved in acquiring and deploying digital goods – in this case, software including on-premises, SaaS, and cloud. As software becomes ever more integral to business operations having a scalable model for managing your software sourcing will become increasingly important. This importance is not simply limited to ITAM and Procurement but extends throughout the business as an enabler of faster, more efficient digital transformation.

Without robust software sourcing management, common challenges organisations can face include:

  • Outdated and siloed systems
  • Slow delivery processes
  • Inaccurate entitlement data
  • Lack of renewal visibility
  • Uncontrolled software portfolio expansion
  • Lack of business efficiency
  • Difficulty aligning ITAM, Procurement & Finance
