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 to manage your software sourcing will become increasingly important. This importance is not simply limited to ITAM and Procurement but extends throughout the business as a whole 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  • Outdated and siloed systems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
