Effective Software Asset Management (SAM) is imperative in today’s business world. Companies need to track software licenses and deployments to ensure compliance in the event of an audit. In addition, maximizing return on investment in software is an important part of maintaining a competitive business edge.
Many companies recognize the need to manage their software, but actually doing it can be a challenge. Licensing programs and terms are often complicated, vary between publishers, and change frequently. Business needs often require deployment of many different applications from multiple publishers, adding layers of complexity.
Soft-Aid helps companies address these critical business concerns. We provide policies and processes, and recommend tools, to gain critical visibility and control of software. Our consultants have experience working with software licensing and specialize in understanding SAM best practices.
We maintain a client-centric approach. Our SAM solutions are tailored to each client’s unique needs and based on industry-recognized standards and frameworks. Our mission is to enable every client to attain an effective SAM program and obtain the benefits of SAM:
- Ensure ongoing license compliance.
- Reclaim unused or underutilized licenses and harvest them for other use.
- Select the best method for obtaining new licenses.
- Improve vendor relations and contract management.
- Ensure regulatory risks around software use are mitigated.
- Ensure optimal “core” infrastructure for business.

"Soft-Aid helped me get a handle
on the software licenses Vonage
owns and has deployed. I can
now reassign licenses to areas in
need, avoid over-purchasing and
ensure our license compliance.
Thanks to Soft-Aid, we realized
significant cost savings and
operational efficiencies."
