Software is indispensable to every business, large and small. Design and Office Productivity software from vendors such as Autodesk, Adobe and Microsoft are essential business tools for Architects, Engineers and Designers. As a result, software and subscription costs are significant items on the IT budget. Businesses cannot afford to waste money: They need to ensure that they are making the most effective use of their software investment. This does not just mean ensuring their staff are properly trained to use the software effectively, it also means making sure the software is deployed efficiently, employees have the necessary tools to do the job, organisations understand and use their rights under the license agreement, and that organisations only purchase new licenses when all existing licenses have been fully utilised. This process of consciously ensuring maximum effective use of your software is called Software Asset Management or SAM.
