Certero Enterprise Standard Edition
Certero helps organizations shake-off the hangover of ‘legacy’ technology from the IT Hardware & Software Asset Management process, so you can spend more time doing what you should be doing – delivering value to the business, demonstrating reduced licensing costs and risk instead of wrestling with data sets and uncertainties.
The Challenge: Silencing the Noise
It’s common for the majority of a SAM Managers’ time to be spent gathering and making sense of inventory data – sometimes up to 70% of their capacity. This leaves absurdly little time to spend analyzing the information and taking actions that will add value to the business.
Imagine if a mechanic spent 70% of their time just trying to get under the hood of a car to see what’s happening… Time has shown that legacy Inventory and SAM tools, with their disparate data silos, reliance on manual processes and a fundamental lack of data quality, inevitably add such a degree of noise and uncertainty to the SAM process that more time is spent manually compensating for the toolsets’ inadequacies than actually using the information to take positive actions.
Optimizing Software spending is complex enough, without toolsets that take years to deploy, or leave gaps in data where scripts are required to attain the additional detail required. The data you need to manage licensing should not be duplicated, incomplete, unreconcilable and your SAM solution should not be preventing you from migrating to the Cloud and Digitally Transforming.
Fortunately, this complexity and inefficiency no longer needs to hold you back from achieving a mature and effective SAM process; the future of ITAM & SAM is already here.
