GNC - Software Asset Management (SAM) is our best practice discipline for managing and optimizing the purchase, deployment, maintenance, utilization, and disposal of your software applications within your organization. According to the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), SAM is defined as:


“…all of the infrastructure and processes necessary for the effective management, control and protection of the software assets…throughout all stages of their lifecycle.”

Fundamentally intended to be part of an organization’s information technology business strategy, the goals of GNC - SAM are to reduce IT costs and limit business and legal risk related to the ownership and use of software, while maximizing IT responsiveness and end-user productivity. SAM is one facet of our broader business discipline known as "Assets & Vendors", which includes overseeing both software and hardware that comprise an organization’s computers and network.

In today's rapidly evolving software markets, software licensing can be a "book with seven seals".
