Digital transformation has become vital for businesses of all sizes to survive into the future. One of the quickest ways to make the leap to digital transformation is by looking into the software lifecycle. Software Lifecycle Management (SLM) is the combination of digitized and automated procurement with Software Asset Management (SAM) to deliver enhanced value across the complexity and costs of software.
Gartner named SoftwareONE a Leader in the 2021 Magic Quadrant for Software Asset Management (SAM) Managed Services – for the second time in a row.

The Future of Software Asset Management (SAM)
Digital transformation marks a radical rethinking of how an organization combines technology, people, and processes to fundamentally improve business performance. To achieve digital transformation and tackle the increased complexities of managing software in the digital enterprise, SAM practices and programs must evolve and transform. SoftwareONE expects that SAM will advance over the next decade, moving from tactical, project-based activities to a far more integrated and strategic business intelligence function – extending towards a next generation of SLM and FinOps.
Discover the Future State of SAMIntegrating FinOps into the Next Generation of SLM
Traditionally, SLM was a process that combined the power of on-premise software asset management (SAM) processes and digitized procurement to help organizations save money while enhancing the value of their software portfolios. The primary goal was to ensure the IT infrastructure was operating in a way that was cost-effective and compliant with vendor regulations. With the mainstream adoption of the cloud, the old SAM model, which became SLM, had to shift further to become more appropriate for the hybrid estate. Enter FinOps.
FinOps (or Cloud Financial Management) is the operating model for the cloud - combining systems, best practices and culture to increase an organization’s ability to understand cloud costs. By bringing financial accountability to cloud spend and enabling global teams to make informed business decisions, FinOps empowers collaboration between IT, Engineering, Finance, Procurement and the business.
Darryl Sackett

We at SoftwareONE allow our customers to create a culture of ownership, strong governance, and inherent optimization throughout the value chain, to enable best in class unit economics and creating budget headroom to invest in innovation at speed.”
