ISO/IEC 19770-1
Software Asset Management Processes

   
What it is

ISO/IEC 19770-1 establishes a baseline for an integrated set of processes for Software Asset Management (SAM). It has been developed to enable an organization to prove that it is performing SAM to a standard sufficient to satisfy corporate governance requirements and ensure effective support for IT service management overall. The processes covered are shown in this diagram:

What it is not

ISO/IEC 19770-1 is not a standard for software licensing compliance. Although software licensing compliance is included (see section 4.5 of the diagram above), this is just one element of overall SAM. The objective of SAM is to get full control of all aspects of software and related IT assets, and licensing is just one of them. ISO/IEC 19770-1 also gives an organization on-going control – not just a point-in-time snapshot which is typical of many licensing compliance exercises.
