Reduce Software Waste: Why SAM Is Critical for Cost Control

In an era of tight IT budgets, software overspend is a silent but significant drain. According to a State of ITAM report, organizations waste up to 30% of their software spend on unused or underused applications. Gartner echoes this, estimating that enterprises overspend on software by at least 25% annually.

SAM helps organizations gain control over software usage, ensure compliance, optimize costs, and reduce risks associated with unlicensed or unauthorized software. By providing a complete view of the software lifecycle, SAM enables IT teams to drive efficiency, save resources, and make smarter purchasing decisions.

Key benefits of SAM:

  • Cost Savings: Optimize licenses and avoid unnecessary purchases
  • Enhanced Security: Reduce exposure to vulnerabilities from unmanaged software
  • Improved Compliance: Minimize legal and financial risks by adhering to license agreements
