Strategic Software Asset Management – Between new technologies, license models, IT Service Continuity and cost reduction
The SAM community is faced with a myriad of challenges: While central IT has to adjust processes to the velocity of DevOps teams, software use is increasing. Adding to the complexity, software products based on machine learning and cloud tools are flooding business units and an increasing variety of IT services must be deployed quickly and cost efficiently.

At SAMS, you'll discover how Europe’s largest SAM community is addressing these challenges. Gain expert insights from your industry peers and explore successful, innovative SAM strategies. Don’t miss the chance to share your own experiences, level up your strategic asset management, and help shape the future of SAM. Join now!
