Deloitte offers a Software Asset Management as a Service (SAMaaS) model that provides companies flexibility in managing their software license compliance. The SAMaaS model can be customized to meet a company's needs and provides assistance with inventory management, contract management, validation, cost modeling, and other SAM processes. Immediate benefits include predictable costs, fast results, reliable reporting, and support across the entire SAM lifecycle. Deloitte's experts help integrate the SAM tools and services based on a company's preferences.

1. Software Asset Management as a Service
(SAMaaS)
Licensing models definitely got more complex over time
and the pace of changes in technology increases year
after year but the requirement to stay in compliance
with your software contracts remains. Consequently,
many companies geared up their efforts to stay in
control of their IT assets while facing many challenges,
which require specialist knowledge. The complexity,
along with the continuous need for education on SAM
concepts and product license terms, not only for the
SAM team but also for the interfacing functions, puts a
significant burden on an organisation. Deloitte’s SAM
as a Service (SAMaaS) offering provides companies the
flexibility and freedom to reallocate, scale up and scale
down their own SAM efforts and get assistance tailored
to the organisations’ own preference and desired level
of involvement.
The Deloitte SAMaaS model stands for an offering,
which can be customised to meet a company’s needs
and builds on skilled people, proven technology and
best practice processes. Our teams provide you with
assistance in both design and implementation of
automated inventory management, SAM tooling,
contract management, baseline validation, chargeback
modelling, SAM processes etc. and seamlessly integrate
with your operations.
The immediate benefits of Deloitte SAMaas are a
plannable cost, a fast time to result, a trustworthy
reporting engine and SAM capabilities covering the
whole SAM Lifecycle.
Unlock your SAM potential!

software industry—We know where the
licensing models have come from and where
they are going.

odologies, and accelerators—The Deloitte

thousands of companies in the SAM area over
the last 10 years.
