New ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) publication - Software Asset Management.

Released on 17/09/2003

Software is one of the most critical elements of information and communications technologies and most organisations have huge investments in software, whether internally developed or external procured.

However organisations often do not invest commensurate effort into managing these software assets. This guide has been developed to assist with understanding what Software Asset Management (SAM) is and to explain what is required to perform it effectively and efficiently as identified in industry 'best practice'.

This is a complementary guide to the core materials of the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and is intended to be consistent with all of its principles and processes.
