  5. ITIL defines SAM as “…all of the infrastructure and processes necessary for the effective management, control and protection of the software assets…throughout all stages of their lifecycle.”

  6. Goals of SAM • Reduce costs • Limit risk related to the ownership and use • Maximize responsiveness and productivity

  7. Capabilities • A single interface to deploy all hardware/software inventory and IT asset management processes • Asset data audit, tracking • Tracking of all hardware/software assets within a single database • Asset tracking throughout the lifecycle including move, add, change and delete activities • Service and maintenance contracts ensuring accurate tracking of financial and service impacts of asset changes • Software metering functionality providing accurate monitoring of application usage • Details on discovered software applications

  8. Levels of SAM • Post graduation employment • Meaningful sense of inclusion • Sensitivity and flexibility • Fun place to work

  9. The future is “CLOUD” • SaaS – Software as a Service • PaaS – Platform as a Service • IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service

  10. SAAS • most hype/focus • USD $12bn in 2011/$22bn by 2015. • Salesforce.com and Office365. • The SaaS providers bill monthly • systems and processes can cope with monitoring SaaS spend

  11. PaaS • relatively uninteresting to the enterprise. • Azure and Cloudbees are examples of PaaS. • USD $0.5bn in 2011 / 2015 $1.7bn, • PaaS is mainly used by SaaS companies as a platform for their offerings and to interconnect data.

  12. IaaS • Where your focus as an enterprise SAM practitioner needs to be. • The phrases “Internal Cloud”, “External Cloud” and “Hybrid Cloud” typically refer to IaaS clouds. • Moving from physical servers to an internal, shared services cloud of VM’s is what IaaS is all about. • Migrating from internal VM’s to externally hosted VM’s in Amazon AWS or Rackspace is also IaaS. • USD $4.2bn in 2011. / $19.6bn by 2015 – • IaaS is the game changer for enterprise/corporate IT.

  13. Take on Too Much • Prioritize the events and vendors • Go for quick wins!! • CRAWL, WALK, RUN • 80% software spend = 20% supplier portfolio

  14. Just A tool won’t Do IT!! • People • Processes • Tools • = Savings and compliance

  15. Define Success • Define metrics and dashboards • Measure • Not just back office function • = Savings and compliance
