Optimisation
CONTROL, OPTIMISE AND GROW
The SAM Optimization Model is aligned with the Microsoft Infrastructure Optimization (IO) Model and provides a framework to accurately evaluate SAM processes, policies, and tools.
The IO model is used to benchmark an organization's current IT infrastructure and help create a more secure and better managed environment. The primary goals of Infrastructure Optimization are to rationalize and reduce IT costs, reallocate underutilized IT resources, and streamline IT business processes. Implementing SAM, which is an integrated set of policies, processes, people and tools dedicated to discovery and management of an organization's software holdings, is necessary so an organization can optimize its IT assets. IT optimization is a common goal of both the IO Model and the SAM Optimization Model, therefore it makes sense to align these initiatives along a common framework.
Using the IO stages of Basic, Standardized, Rationalized, and Dynamic, Smartpath SAM Services consultants conduct a SAM Optimization assessment based on 10 SAM key competencies. The end goal of the assessment is to evaluate the SAM Optimization level in your organisation based on a set of established and objective criteria.
