Today, good SAM practise can be achieved with less time, money and effort than was possible in the past, thanks to new solutions that have been designed specifically to help organisations with their SAM challenge. The new products driving the SAM revolution include products like Certero AssetStudio™ and Certero SoftwareMetering for Decision Makers™, which also feature traditional ITAM functionality, hardware and software discovery, inventory and software delivery.

Certero's Software Asset Management (SAM) solution has been developed using today's approach with today's technology to address today's challenges. It provides a high level of automation, enabling a real-time Effective License Position (ELP). Dynamic Virtualisation is also managed, simplifying License Management and Compliance.

With comprehensive software recognition and an automated Effective License Position (ELP) functionality, key complexities are removed. The solution accommodates specific challenges relating to Thin Client devices. By controlling access to applications (and published applications) both in a PC and a Thin Client environment, software licensing can be controlled to ensure compliance. This is particularly important with vendors requiring software licences for all devices that can access applications. The ability to have auditable restricted access to applications allows you to safely licence only the devices that need access.

Organisations that have governance in place (ELP) can now progress to an Optimised License Position (OLP), ensuring they have software deployed with associated Licenses only for software needed by their organisation.
