Software Asset Management Solutions

Set the baseline to deliver a normalised view of software assets to manage and optimise the license environment through greater process efficiencies; enhance your ability to ensure compliance with software vendors' terms and conditions; and defend against potential audits. DXC can track and analyse your organisation’s software inventory, devices, usage, purchase order data, license entitlements and contract terms to establish a trustworthy foundation of quality SAM data.

Working from that foundation, DXC helped a banking customer achieve more than $1.2 million in savings by conducting a usage audit for compliance and reducing unused and under-consumed licenses.

Our SAM for SaaS service module discovers and monitors SaaS apps, provides insights to control sprawl and right-sizes based on actual software usage. Our actionable recommendations enable improved SaaS spend control and data security. 

Our SAM for Cloud Costs service module tracks your spend across cloud providers to improve visibility, and addresses the quality and quantity of services consumed.

In one instance, a food conglomerate turned to DXC to manage its consolidated cloud providers' spend of over $11,000,000, and we reduced its over-consumption from 7% to 2% in just one year.

DXC's SAM Optimisation service module pays special attention to the software vendors for which customers have the largest spend — Adobe, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and VMware by Broadcom — and focuses on maximising your return on software investment by consolidating licenses, analysing usage, mitigating risks and reducing costs.

By optimising the Microsoft Windows Server license structure and utilisation for a life sciences company, DXC helped it to achieve $1,740,000 in cost savings. 

DXC's Optimised Software Request service module automates workflows to ensure streamlined self-service software procurement, automated delivery, streamlined license management and efficient asset lifecycle tracking.
