Your organisation needs to be confident that you have quality data when it comes to software asset management. CTMS recognises that you need to be able to review software asset and licensing data quickly that provides an accurate insight into your IT estate whilst keeping control of costs. This is why CTMS has developed Quick Win, a range of managed services that delivers accurate SAM information quickly and at a fixed cost.
Most organisations already have inventory tools that provide comprehensive audit data of the IT estate and installed software. However, in order to use this data for software compliance purposes time and effort are required to consolidate and interpret the data into meaningful management reports. Microsoft QuickWin SAM is a CTMS developed service that verifies the audit data provided by your existing tools and delivers an accurate report of your software estate. Microsoft QuickWin SAM will provide a view of software usage against procurement data for key vendors such as Microsoft and Adobe, without you needing to invest heavily in time and resources to manipulate the data and achieve the depth of understanding required for a successful SAM project outcome.
