Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve heard there are software tools that can solve license management challenges. Won't these suffice?: Tools help a great deal with SAM. They are designed to automate processes, but some processes cannot be automated. Managing software is about people, processes and technology combined and as such you need expertise to do it effectively. When an HR department procures people management software, HR experts are still required to design the platform and run HR operations. SAM like any other business function requires experts to operate technology, run operations and to deliver the outcomes SAM promises.

Will your managed service stop me being audited by software publishers?: No. Insight cannot control the audit designs of software publishers. The decision to audit is principally based on anticipated ROI. Demonstrating good governance reduces the likelihood and intensity of software audits. Pro-activity reduces your IP risk/revenue opportunity profile when selecting audit candidates. This helps reduce the likelihood and frequency of audits and reduces the business impact to your people and finances.

I’ve invested in a Software Asset Manager already, why do I need your help?: The knowledge required to be effective across hundreds of software publishers and titles is impossible to maintain in an individual or small team. With our service your Software Asset Manager will spend less time on analysis and administration and more time on enabling decision-making.
