Take Control of Your Enterprise Software Estate

Software Asset Management (SAM) is a practice that enables companies to understand and manage software buying and usage patterns, inventory details, future requirements and contractual terms and conditions, which can result in considerable savings in license purchase costs and support fees, and protection from the risk of license non-compliance.

Version 1’s SAM Managed Service options give you control by delivering certainty on enterprise vendor software license consumption and assurance on your business’ IT compliance position. With Version 1’s range of SAM Managed Services, you will be in a position to avoid unnecessary costs, accurately plan for future software license purchases and avoid any stress from a software vendor audit. Version 1’s SAM business practice is completely autonomous and not affiliated with any software vendor.

Version 1’s expertise in designing and delivering ongoing SAM managed service methodologies and programs over the last 18 years has resulted in the creation of our comprehensive software asset management and license compliance methodology, SAM4D which binds together all the Version 1 license delivery components covering a broad range of enterprise vendors including Oracle, Microsoft and IBM, and technology platforms such as virtualisation and cloud.

Within SAM4D, we deploy Version 1 Control as our one-off license consultancy and ongoing SAM managed service for targeted enterprise vendors such as Oracle, Microsoft and IBM either on-premise or in the cloud.
