Software asset and software license management is a well-known and widely discussed subject area today as non-compliance can result in significant legal, financial, and reputational risk. It is for this reason, Procurement leadership in global SAM/SLM programs is essential to successfully mitigate these risks and align compliance and cost optimization through Sourcing strategy and negotiations. Topics discussed will include SAM program technical architecture, organizational rooting, sponsorship structure, funding requirements, risk mitigation vs. cost savings considerations, and Procurement responsibilities and benefits. This session is targeted towards both Procurement and IT leadership, SAM Program Managers, and Technology Sourcing professionals.
