Deloitte & Snow Software Announce End-To-End Software Asset Management for IBM & SAP
LONDON, June 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Deloitte and Snow Software introduce end-to-end SAM for IBM and SAP in the Data
CentreÂ
Deloitte and Snow Software have today announced the introduction of a new end-to-end
Software Asset Management (SAM) offering to enterprises with IBM and SAP software,
including inventory baseline, entitlement assessment, compliance assessment, license
optimisation and audit/contract renewal preparation.
The offering, which combines Snow's 4th Generation SAM platform with licensing
expertise and SAM process knowledge from Deloitte, can empower organizations to realize
significant savings and risk reductions across their SAP and IBM software licensing.
Jan Gottlander, Group Vice President for Snow Software commented: "The data centre has
become the area where organisations have the most to lose or gain in terms of software
expenditure and risk. Â By joining forces with Deloitte we are offering mid and large-sized
organisations the opportunity to take charge of the two most important datacenter software
providers, establishing effective vendor management practices and stemming the
ever-increasing cost of datacenter software licensing."
Diederik Van der Sijpe, Partner at Deloitte, added: "At Deloitte, we engage with
thousands of enterprises annually. The adoption of Software Asset Management (SAM)
platforms with enterprises is accelerating. Â Companies realise that achieving license
compliance and cost-efficiency are complex and even more so for some of the data centre
vendors like IBM and SAP. IT organisations need a comprehensive solution for addressing
these requirements in the short and long-term. The end-to-end offering from Deloitte and
Snow Software fits that bill." Â
Deloitte has more than 800 dedicated Software License and Asset Management
professionals around the world. Snow is one of the technology providers that Deloitte has
an alliance relationship with.
Together with Snow's 4th Generation SAM platform, this meets the advice from leading
analyst firms suggesting that organisations seek out full end-to-end SAM services covering
all products and vendors, following the organization's internal governance processes.
"We are excited to bring this integrated offering to the market place with Snow
Software. By teaming together, we are able to better meet the need for a total solution
for enterprises," concluded Diederik Van de Sijpe.
