The importance of software asset management
With the increasing introduction of software and technical tools, management of these solutions is vital to ensure the correct and legal usage of all assets.
SAM encapsulates the governance, control, and optimisation of software assets throughout their lifecycle. Organisations are increasingly using asset management solutions and software tools to streamline operations and mitigate risks associated with software licensing, usage, and compliance.
According to Statista, global spending on enterprise software reached approximately $913 billion in 2023, up from $789 billion in 2022. This figure is projected to surpass $1.03 trillion by the end of 2024.
In short, software asset management and asset management software are primary foundations of modern business operations, enhancing efficiency, reducing risks, and maximising the value of software investments.
