It can now process <strong>all vendors of packaged software<\/strong>, compared to the earlier version that was focused only on the &#8216;Big Four&#8217;, IBM, Microsoft, Oracla and SAP. It also addresses the cloud and subscription model and is a viable foundation for all downstream SAM tools.<\/p>\n<p>Another notion from the convention was the focus on high value items. In that respect, hardware assets are viewed as commodities that might not require the same effort and cost for management.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>W\u00e4hrend der IAITAM-Konferenz in Houston wurde\u00a0 in diesem Monat diskutiert, wie SAM Fachleute und Eink\u00e4ufer zu einem h\u00f6heren Grad an Automatisierung gelangenen, vor allem, um die Datenerfassung und die workflow-gesteuerte Nutzung von SAM-Tools zu erleichtern. De bisherige, Snapshot-orientierte Ansatz der SAM-Programme ist veraltet und mehr Echtzeit-Denken greift beim Publikum Raum.<\/p>\n<p>Eines der ersten Werkzeuge verwaltet die stromaufw\u00e4rts von SAM: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.license12.com\">License12<\/a> bietet die automatisierte Umwandlung von Software-Beschaffungsdokumenten, indem alle Daten innerhalb eines Arbeitstags extrahiert und in den ContractSafe des Kunden, einem Repository f\u00fcr die zugeh\u00f6rigen Lizenzberechtigungen, \u00fcbertragen werden. Nun k\u00f6nnen alle Anbieter von Softwarepaketen verarbeitet werden, im Vergleich zu der fr\u00fcheren Version, die nur auf die &#8216;Big Four&#8217;, IBM, Microsoft, SAP und Oracle fokussiert wurde. Der Internet-Service ist im Abo-Modell verf\u00fcgbar und bietet eine tragf\u00e4hige Grundlage f\u00fcr alle nachgeschalteten SAM-Tools.<\/p>\n<p>Eine weiterer Denkimpuls der Konferenz bestand in der Fokussierung auf die gro\u00dfen Investitionen in Software-Lizenzen. Damit verglichen erscheinen Hardware-Assets wie Rohstoffe, f\u00fcr die ein gleicher Aufwand f\u00fcr die Verwaltung nicht angemessen erscheint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As discussed during the IAITAM convention in Houston this month, SAM professionals and procurement managers are looking for a higher degree of automation, mainly to facilitate data collection and the workflow-driven use of SAM tools.
