Intelligence that puts you firmly in control

Organizations that have access to accurate and complete intelligence on their IT investments, are able to control their expenditure and avoid traditional risks though improved decision making, planning and budgeting.   Having a single view of their cloud and software ecosystems enables organizations to manage consumption, fully leverage existing investments, empower their contract negotiations with strategic vendors and achieve a higher degree of financial control.

Gartner® says: "Tools alone can only do so much. Tools are particularly challenged by requirements to assess inventory and usage in complex or customized scenarios, where it’s critical to manage a broad range of entitlements and use rights across the organization’s full array of use cases."

"Ninety-seven percent of SAM managed services delivered by expert providers with services measured are reported to deliver realized savings that exceed the service costs. Sixty-three percent of those services deliver at least 200% in realized savings."
