| : : Software Asset Management Proposal |
| |
| According to Gartner Group and IDC the
total cost of ownership (TCO) of a single workstation is somewhere between
$8,000 and $12,000 per user per annum. Also according to these analysts,
using Software Asset Management (SAM) can
save up to 30% of this cost. |
| |
| Software Asset Management
is a method of tracking financial, contractual and technical information
about software. Software Asset Management helps you to spot trends, improves
your decision making, helps you to stay legal and saves you money. |

can offer you a pilot review of your current procedures and policies,
lasting no more than 2-4 days. We will provide you with a recommendation
report containing an analysis identifying which of the items in the list
below are already in place and which are not and where improvements could
be made. All Cressida engagements are preceded by an initial no-charge
interview and assessment service. The objective of this no-charge service
is to define and scope your requirements and to develop a formal statement
of work for your review and approval. There are no obligations for this
no-charge offer. |
| |
| When you approve the Pilot project's Statement of Work,
interviews will be conducted on site and the result of the analysis will
be presented to you. |
| |
| If this leads you to decide to implement Software Asset
Management in your company we can provide a full implementation plan,
describing in detail which steps need to be taken for a successful SAM
implementation. |
| |
| Furthermore we can assist, if needed, in the evaluation
of any specialized SAM inventory and/or software metering software or
carry out the software audits that are part of the SAM. |
