GAP Analysis and Benchmarking

How much SAM do you really need? The first step at the beginning of each project is the analysis of the current state; when it comes to enterprise software, the analysis of the maturity of our customer’s SAM processes and systems. By benchmarking a snapshot which represents the current state against frameworks, standards and industry best practices we identify gaps.

Defining the Business Case

In order to get management support for your SAM project a simple question has to be addressed adequately: “How much does SAM cost and how much money does it save?”

Quantak Solutions supports you with calculating the ROI, aligning SAM activities with the business objectives and creating a business case.

Roadmap to SAM

You know your gaps and have already defined your strategic goals. But you are not quite sure what to do or where to start. Our long-term experience in SAM implementation projects enables us to design a roadmap to your SAM goals that is most efficient. We know typical requirements, when to involve which resources and where to expect challenges.  We coach our clients through project setup or manage whole SAM projects.

Process Design and Delivery

Considering the various providers, license metrics, technologies and organizational challenges, managing the life-cycle of software assets is complex. We help our customers to put these pieces together by defining repeatable processes that support their overall strategy and are in compliance with standards and industry best practices.

Tools and Technology

Companies usually have a number of tools in place that automate essential SAM functions like inventory, software distribution, etc. The question is what additional functions you really need. The requirements differ depending on the maturity of a SAM organization. At the beginning of SAM initiatives the focus might be on basic discovery and reconciliation tools, however, the long term strategy should be to have an integrated approach.

We know the prevalent technologies, how to analyze your existing tool landscape and how to support you with decision making.
