Live Webinar – April 28, 2011 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST
Presented by: Enterprise Management Associates
Duration: 1 hour 1 Category C FREE

Corporate interest in Software Asset Management (SAM) is expanding and for good reason. Enterprise IT is taking on this challenge with the hope of managing entitlements to software licenses, saving on software costs and remaining in compliance with major software providers.

When done well, SAM addresses all of these important IT pain points. Success in managing software assets is a big win for IT leaders and the company as a whole. In large enterprises, the scale of software usage can involve 500 or more distinct software titles being used by more than 50,000 users—all deployed on varying technology silos.

The management challenge for SAM is clearly one of scale and context that extends cross-silo management needs to software assets. A streamlined, automated solution is necessary to gain control across organizations of all sizes.

Join EMA Research Director Lisa Erickson-Harris (LinkedIn profile) for this informative Webinar about the SAM market landscape, where she will discuss the results of a detailed comparative study of 12 SAM solutions from the following vendors: Alloy Software, ASG, Express Metrix, Eracent, Flexera, FrontRange, Hewlett-Packard, IBM Tivoli, iET Solutions, LANDesk, ManageEngine and Symantec.

Topics will include:

• Considerations in selecting a SAM solution
• Assessment criteria for comparing SAM solutions
• Detailed discussion of the 12 vendors included in this study
• Highlights from more than 20 user interviews conducted for this study
• Strategies and approaches used for SAM deployment in enterprise environments
• EMA viewpoint on trends for SAM solutions in the market

If you’re planning your SAM strategy for 2011, this is a can’t-miss event. Registration with the EMA website is required.
