Description
You’ve implemented SAM tooling and established basic reporting, yet software compliance and control still feel reactive. Licences are purchased without consistent governance, deployments drift from entitlement, and audits consume time and resources while exposing gaps in process and ownership. Asset data is unreliable, responsibilities are unclear, and SAM activity is driven by vendor pressure rather than business need. Without defined foundational lifecycle and governance processes, SAM provides insight into risk but limited ability to manage it.
The ITAM Accelerate SAM Foundation Process Kit delivers ISO‑19770-1 aligned, end‑to‑end software asset lifecycle and governance processes that establish control from request and procurement through deployment, management, and retirement. These foundational processes create clear ownership, reliable licence positions, and auditable evidence — enabling organisations to reduce compliance risk, improve cost transparency, and respond confidently to vendor audits. Fully modelled and customisable, the kit provides a practical SAM operating framework that underpins effective governance and supports future SAM maturity.
