Software Asset Management Explained

What Is Software Asset Management?

Software asset management (SAM) is keeping your software licenses and subscriptions in line with how your business actually uses them. It means knowing how many licenses you own and who has them, spotting the ones nobody uses, renewing on time and staying within each vendor's license terms. Without it, businesses keep paying for people who left months ago, miss renewal dates that lock in another year and find out about license problems when a vendor asks for an audit.

BCA tracks your licenses and subscriptions, matches them to your users, flags waste and reviews renewals before they're due. We also look for apps your team has signed up for on their own, so you know what software is in use and where company data is going.

Subscriptions renew automatically, whether anyone still uses them or not.

FAQ

Common Questions About Software Asset Management

Here are the questions businesses ask most often about managing software licenses.

Some software vendors have the right, under their license terms, to check that a customer isn't using more copies or users than it paid for. If the count comes up short, the business usually has to buy the missing licenses, sometimes with back fees. Keeping accurate records of what you own and where it's installed turns an audit request into a paperwork exercise instead of a bill.

It depends on how long licensing has gone unmanaged. The usual finds are licenses still assigned to people who left, subscriptions on higher tiers than anyone needs, tools that do the same job as one you already pay for and apps nobody has opened in months. BCA shows you what we find and what each item costs before anything is cancelled.

Shadow IT is software and cloud services staff use without IT knowing, such as a free file-sharing app, a personal AI tool or a project tool someone signed up for with a company card. It's usually well meant, but it can leave company data in accounts the business doesn't control and creates costs nobody is tracking. BCA finds these apps and helps you decide which to approve, replace or remove.

Yes, through our Microsoft 365 management, which covers license review and the right mix of plans for each role. Software asset management covers everything else: line-of-business software, design tools, cloud apps and the subscriptions spread across company cards.

Yes. BCA tracks renewal dates and reviews each one ahead of time: whether you still need the software, whether the seat count and plan are right and whether something you already pay for could replace it. You make the call, and we take care of the change with the vendor.

BCA recovers them as part of offboarding. Licenses that can move are reassigned to the next person who needs them, and the rest are cancelled or reduced at the next billing date, so you stop paying for an empty seat.
