Software Asset Management

Software asset management is a strategic initiative that enables organizations to achieve maximum value from their software investments. It involves the integration of people, processes and technology to allow application licenses and usage to be systematically tracked, evaluated and managed. The goal of software asset management is to reduce IT expenditures, human resource overhead and risks inherent in owning and managing software assets.

Software asset management includes maintaining license compliance; tracking the inventory and usage of installed applications; and maintaining standard policies and procedures surrounding the installation, deployment, configuration, and use of software assets.
