Description
You’ve established foundational SAM lifecycle control, but as your estate grows, complexity and scrutiny increase. New software titles are introduced regularly, licensing metrics are harder to interpret, and vendor engagement requires deeper analysis and stronger governance. Audits now demand not just compliance positions, but evidence of controlled decision‑making, defined roles, continual improvement, and management oversight. Without advanced lifecycle and governance processes, SAM maturity stalls, audit risk remains high, and certification against ISO/IEC 19770‑1 stays out of reach.
The ITAM Accelerate SAM Advanced Process Kit builds on the foundations of SAM by delivering advanced lifecycle and governance processes aligned to the full requirements of ISO/IEC 19770‑1. Covering activities such as onboarding and governing new software titles, licence model management, risk assessment, performance measurement, management review, and continual improvement, the kit enables SAM to operate as a controlled management system rather than a reactive function. These processes provide the structure needed for sustainable compliance, defensible audit outcomes, and formal certification readiness, while enabling SAM to support strategic cost control and informed technology decision‑making across the organisation.
