Overview:

Software Asset Management (SAM) has often been seen as a necessary evil, used to ensure that software licences are used within contractual limits, so avoiding the possibility of fines should a company be found to have a copy of an application running somewhere without a valid licence. The software industry itself hasn't exactly helped - early attempts to face down corporate piracy were couched in terms of fear, uncertainty and doubt, threatening all sorts of things should a company not manage its licences effectively. However, SAM should not be seen as a cost, but as an investment. It brings to an organisation many benefits that can help in freeing up the IT department from many areas of drudge work.
