About SAMpartners

The SAMpartners™ pedigree stems from the late eighties when the issues of Software Piracy was raised and the strong Anti-Piracy message was sent out by the major vendors.

Since then the SAMpartners team have been involved with assisting hundreds of companies of all sizes in coping with the complexities of software licensing and latterly the implementation of Software Asset Management.

SAMpartners are independent, confidential and entirely focused on delivering software asset management services that are designed to help customers enjoy a range of benefits including:

• Total management of the deployed software and its licences
• Minimizing risks in terms of legal and financial exposure
• Maximising procurement power
• Enhancing the return on investment (ROI) in software assets

The key to our success is our ability to engage with our clients at both a strategic and tactical level to develop process and technology solutions that achieve real business benefits. The strategy of engaging at a process level before a technical level has been a key factor of our success.

Our solutions seek to incorporate best practices in IT service management as set out in the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). The ITIL methodology is the most widely accepted approach to IT service management in the world and provides a comprehensive, consistent and coherent set of best practices for IT service management.

Our experience with the license plans of the world's leading software vendors, and our long standing relationship with many of them, enables SAMpartners to bring clarity to the often obscured issue of licensing and licence management and define solutions that will bring long term, measurable benefits.
