Ensuring compliance and ensuring that a firm is not under-licensed are often the primary objectives for software asset managers. But license optimization, IT security and implementing processes and policies are just some of the areas in which Software Asset Management (SAM) can save money for companies.

In this presentation, Asif Bhaidu, Program Director, Ogilvy Global Business Technology Group, presents on:

• Understanding issues that bog SAM teams down and their solutions
  
• Considering implementation, training and process rollout practices for efficiency
  
• Reviewing and optimizing time consuming transactional License Management
• Examining how to manage complex software licenses
  

One of the key milestones for an IT Finance organization is to calculate the total cost of ownership for each enterprise application. With the introduction of Cloud technologies (IaaS,
Saas, PaaS, etc), this can be complex to develop financial models in addition to providing apples-to-apples comparisons.

Brian Toba, Senior Manager, Information Technology Services, Deloitte, presents on:

• The complexities of doing Application TCO in today’s environments
• How to leverage other data sources to provide a holistic information dashboard to allow business leaders to make the best decisions based upon all of the facts available

specifically you’re buying, and who benefits from these investments.

• Open-source tools and templates
• Mapping to enrich GLAP data
• Developing a Tooling Roadmap
