Companies such as AMD, Ford, Motorola and NASA are now using SAMsolutions to manage their software assets. Over 500 major software customers have licensed FLEXadmin. Many of these sites individually manage hundreds of millions of dollars of software licenses. Select large software customers have had access to SAMsuite and SAMreport since January, and the products have been very well received by these early users. We use the new Usage Efficiency Report to determine how many licenses we actually need and the Advanced Reporting for identifying more complex usage trends.
Software is one of the largest capital expenditures made by companies.
As a result, IT managers are looking for ways to manage software assets more efficiently, automate software administration tasks and provide high-quality management reports on software related costs. SAMsolutions centralizes and automates license administration over large corporate networks. Use the expanded reporting capabilities to track usage metrics including peak usage, usage efficiency, and bill-back accounting. The company's FLEXlm license manager, used by over 2000 software publishers, is recognized as an industry de facto standard.
