GOLD SAM Certification from Microsoft

 

We would like to say a big shout out to us this week!!!  

As a leading systems integrator and IT solutions provider, we recently attained Gold partner status with Microsoft for Software Asset Management (SAM). There are just a handful of organizations that have Gold SAM status in Australia and we are proud to say that we are now one of them.

We work with organizations to help them find efficiencies within their IT systems and processes and as such ITAM (IT asset management).  This has been a strong focus for us. Knowing where your software and hardware assets are deployed, how they are being accessed or used and how they are being procured, are critical to the successful functioning of IT.  If left unattended, then this can have far reaching compliance, financial and legal implications. Most organizations we talk to are under licensed in some areas and over licensed in others.

We provide an inventory service that identifies all the software licenses that are installed in the organisations and reconcile this against the purchase records that the vendors hold.  We then produce a report that:

• Gives a summary of the gap analysis that identifies any shortfalls and/or over purchase of licenses.
• Recommends a licensing strategy around Microsoft and other vendors for cost-effective license purchases.
• Provides usage metrics around software.
• Detailed approval and workflows for the purchasing of software licensing.

We also provide SAM as a service for ongoing maintenance of your asset inventory with best practises for IT procurement.

The invitation to the SAM Gold partner program is an endorsement by Microsoft of our expertise in delivering superior Software Asset Management services.

Congratulations to us and thank you very much for all your support.
