Get SAM or license management initiatives off to the best possible start with a documented SAM plan you can make your own.  

Whether you’ve already made an investment in FrontRange SAM solutions, or are just starting out on your license management efforts, SAM Essentials Optimization Edition sets out the key requirements for all the key requirements for SAM success:

Scoping a SAM project  

Successful software management isn’t just about technology; it requires the right approach to recruiting and managing the appropriate people, researching and adopting the accepted best practices.

SAM Essentials helps you manage people, processes and technology by providing a comprehensive SAM project plan, which can be tailored to suit the exact needs of your business. From intuitive workflows to templated documents, SAM Essentials features all the resources you will need to build and manage you initiative.

Best practice advice  

Taking from respected sources such as the Microsoft SAM Optimization Model (SOM), ITIL V3 and the ISO 19770-1 SAM standard, SAM Essentials ensures that your project is both in line with, and takes full advantage of, established best practices.

Where appropriate, these standards and best practices are formally documented in the project plan – enabling you to demonstrate adherence to interested third parties.

Ongoing project tracking and evaluation  

SAM Essentials makes it easy to record and monitor the progress of your SAM project, with simple ‘traffic light’ systems to illustrate if parts of the plan are on-course or perhaps need attention.

Reports from SAM Essentials can be created and exported with ease – whether to a corporate intranet, PowerPoint presentation, spreadsheet or other type of document.

SAM Essentials is designed to enable multiple users to work together, simultaneously accessing and modifying the central project plan.
