Travel, transport and logistics organisations are constantly seeking to cut costs so their limited budgets can be focused on core services and project delivery. However, they require a complex estate of software vendors to operate effectively and managing that estate can be time-consuming and expensive.
SCC’s Software Asset SCC’s Software Asset Management (SAM) service involves working with organisations to evaluate their technology and licensing contracts, assessing software usage and identifying any issues and commercial risks. Providing insight into their software estates puts organisations back in control and highlights areas of rationalisation to provide savings, while ensuring compliance with both vendors and legal regulations.
To ensure our customers can achieve optimum value from their software estates, we deliver clear management reports and recommendations for improving efficiency and mitigating risk.
