Basics of Software-Asset-Management (SAM)

After participating in liop®‘s one-day SAM basics seminar, you will know exactly what SAM is and what processes it involves, how it is linked with ITAM (IT Asset Management) and LIMA (License Management), and also how these three processes distinguish from one another. In a practical exercise, the participants create a software catalogue and analyse license agreements under the guidance of the speaker. The entire seminar as well as the speaker is neutral and manufacturer-independent which enables you to get an objective picture of the processes and connections in this area.

This seminar is part of the seminar series Processes from ISO 19770 and prepares you for the follow-up seminar “Fundamentals of License Management (LIMA)”.
