With an ever-growing focus surrounding software compliance and licensing reviews, Microsoft has decided to introduce a simple but effective Programme that brings clarity to the SAM process and empowers you and your organisation to make quick positive strides towards achieving software compliance.
Microsoft’s SAM Programme follows a process that is very similar to our very own Self Assessment Service but is solely focused on Microsoft licensing.
Microsoft Certification
A key aspect of the enhanced Programme that makes it so appealing is the Microsoft Certificate that’s awarded in recognition of software compliance activity.
The Microsoft Certification formally mitigates the risk of being contacted by Microsoft in regard to a software audit for the following 12 months.
Choosing a Microsoft SAM Partner
Working together with Bytes – a Microsoft Certified SAM partner – your organisation will move very quickly to gaining the Actual License Position (ALP) of your IT estate. This will lay the foundations for achieving software compliance that will enable you to successfully complete the Programme.
The Microsoft SAM Programme will enable your organisation to:
- Save – Find out if you’re paying too much for software licensing
- Be Secure – Remove obsolete items that could threaten your data security
- Stay Legal – Identify unlicensed or non-genuine Microsoft products
