Software spend is one of the largest investments any organization has – aside from its people. Yet spend is not being managed in relation to how the business uses the software as more organizations move to the cloud. Having a comprehensive diagnostic tool that provides visibility into your maturity and compliance position is key to managing costs, improving ROI and reaching your financial goals.
Our SLM Diagnostic service can help guide you – from initial data analysis, to compliance processes, through to full consulting and managed services – based on your specific IT Asset Management (ITAM) needs.
Common Challenges
Some of the most common challenges our customers experience include:
Visibility
Without a comprehensive diagnostic tool backed by leading professionals it‘s difficult to get a sense of your overall ITAM estate – from on-premises to the cloud to various SAM suppliers, tools and partners
Resources
Comprehensive diagnostics need a combination of people, process and tools – with people being a key factor. Many organizations do not have the internal IT staff to support such a program
Maintenance Costs
Ongoing maintenance is key to success, and performing a diagnostic assessment 2-4 times per year can be cost prohibitive without the right system in place
Automating the Review of Your Software Estate
At SoftwareONE, we use the term Software Lifecycle Management (SLM) to describe the combination of procurement and software asset management (SAM). Properly-managed SLM can maximize the value of your software and cloud portfolios. Having access to a fully-automated, real-time assessment is invaluable when trying to manage your entire software estate. Having that assessment brings a myriad of benefits to your organization.
SoftwareONE’s SLM Diagnostic (our proprietary digital supply chain tool that allows organizations to benchmark, collaborate and track their progress across the software estate based on over 10,000 consulting hours) provides a visual dashboard of maturity, industry standards, project tracking and real-time recommendations to ensure your software estate is ready for your business needs today and into the future.
