Optimal’s Software Asset Management (SAM) solutions are designed to maximise the value, performance, and compliance of your software assets. We combine advanced analytics, automation, and AI-driven insights to continuously monitor usage, identify risks, and optimise licence allocation. With a clear understanding of software health, utilisation, and compliance, organisations can reduce costs, minimise risks, and improve overall IT efficiency.
Why SAM Matters
Managing software across a business is complex, costly, and risky. SAM gives organisations the control they need by bringing transparency, efficiency, and compliance into every stage of the software lifecycle, from purchasing and deployment to usage and renewal. With Optimal’s SAM services, every licence works harder for your business.
Smarter Use of Licences
A key element of SAM is licence harvesting. Instead of wasting money on unused or forgotten licences, harvesting identifies underused software and reallocates it where it’s needed most. This prevents overspending, reduces waste, and ensures your teams always have the tools they require without unnecessary costs.
Licence management builds on this by providing centralised oversight of your software estate. It gives you visibility into what you own, what you use, and what you actually need. By eliminating guesswork, it simplifies renewals, prevents unauthorised installations, and strengthens your position in vendor negotiations.
Compliance and Risk Management
Compliance management is another critical function of SAM. Software audits can lead to heavy fines, legal disputes, and reputational harm. Optimal’s SAM solutions safeguard against these risks by embedding compliance into everyday processes. With audit readiness built in, your organisation can demonstrate accountability, maintain industry standards, and build stronger vendor relationships.
Sector Expertise
In highly regulated industries such as Financial Services, Healthcare, and Government, effective SAM is essential for regulatory compliance, cyber security, and digital transformation. Optimal’s SAM solutions integrate seamlessly with existing IT infrastructures, providing real-time visibility into software inventory, usage trends, and compliance metrics. Our team of experts works closely with your organisation to design and implement strategies aligned with your business goals.
