Flexera: Maximize Software Cost Savings by License Reharvesting, Recycling & Applying Product Use Rights

Software asset management (SAM) is a complex process that enables organizations to gain control of their software estate from both a license compliance and financial standpoint.

McKinsey and Sand-Hill Group estimate that 30% or more of IT budgets are consumed by software license and maintenance costs. By optimizing the SAM process, organizations can maximize software utilization, reduce the risk of non-compliance (audits, fees, penalties), and reduce overall IT costs by as much as 5 to 10% per year.
