As part of our Oracle GLAS Verified Software Asset Management (VSAM) program, we engage Oracle verified SAM (VSAM) Partners to help our customers optimize their Oracle investments.

What is Software Asset Management?

Software Asset Management (SAM) involves managing an organization's software assets for maximum efficiency. There are multiple aspects to SAM, including inventory management, license tracking, procurement practices, and usage monitoring to ensure efficient and cost-effective use of software resources. SAM helps organizations save costs, improve ROI, and mitigate legal and financial risks associated with software usage.
