2016 Global Market Study about Practices of SAM

The Aspera 2016 Software Asset Management (SAM) market study is based on a survey completed by 436 SAM professionals worldwide across all industries. The survey assessed:
– How long organizations had a SAM practice in place
– How they managed software
– The scope of their SAM project
– Their SAM maturity
– The challenges they faced
– Their key motivations for looking at SAM

In summary, it was identified that:
– Software Asset Management is still growing as a discipline with few organizations realizing their full potential of optimizing their license management
– Most organizations manage less than fifty software vendors and the more advanced manage both, desktops and servers
– Those organizations that have invested into resources, technology and tools are reaping the long-term rewards
– Certain regions indicate higher levels of maturity while progress and level of professionalism can also significantly vary from organization to organization
– The complexity of managing licenses in large organizations plus the lack of resources are perceived as the biggest challenges with SAM
– Overall the threat of software audits and quest for cost transparency remain key business
drivers
