Automate your license management with SAM tools you can rely on.
SAM tools automate license management activities. But not every tool fits every company. We find the right tool for you – SAMtoa Tool Selection.
You already have a tool in use, but you are unsure whether you can trust the results. SAMtoa’s tool experts know the weak points and how to eliminate them – SAMtoa Tool Check-up.
Continuous SAM tool monitoring and data maintenance is time-consuming and requires experienced staff. We can do this for you – SAMtoa Tool Operation.
“We are very pleased to have SAMtoa as a trustworthy contact and consultant at our side. They provided a fast and competent execution in the project and supported Stadtwerke Wolfenbüttel in an uncomplicated and efficient way in later challenges. Due to the cooperation, we were able to update “Flexera SPIDER” and thus further improve our contract, asset, and license management. For this reason, I can say that we have had only the best experiences with SAMtoa, and I am happy to recommend their service to others.”

SAMtoa Tool Selection:
We use our comprehensive catalog of requirements for a SAM tool to identify the criteria that are relevant to you. We then work with you to individually weight the criteria.
Based on these specifications, we select potential providers who can answer the catalog of requirements. The results are evaluated by us.
The tool vendors in question are invited to demonstrate the most important requirements using predefined case studies.
Together with you, we then make the final evaluation and accompany you in the subsequent contract negotiations. We ensure that all important clauses are included in the tool contract.
SAMtoa Tool Check-up:
Using our SAM tool checklist, we systematically analyze all points in your SAM tool where quality problems typically arise. The following dimensions are checked:
The weaknesses found are documented and options are identified for eliminating them.
SAMtoa Tool Operation:
In the onboarding phase, we get to know the configuration of your SAM tool and discuss the interfaces into your organization:
Afterwards, the tool is operated remotely by us. We take care of all updates, monitor the interfaces, and ensure data quality.
Alternatively, we can also provide the SAM tool via one of our partners’ platforms. In this case, you no longer need your own installation.
The defined periodic reporting is created by us.
As soon as underlicensing is detected, the responsible parties are notified and options for its elimination are discussed.
Regular checks are made based on the tool information to determine whether cost savings are possible.
Depending on the agreement, periodic review meetings are held to continuously improve our service.
SAMtoa Tool Selection:
All stakeholders for the SAM tool in your company should participate in the requirements workshop so that we can create a complete picture of the criteria and their weighting.
From your side, a decision team must be defined to assess the results of our evaluation and participate in the system presentation.
SAMtoa Tool Check-up:
We need system access to your SAM tool and contacts who can provide us with information about interfaces, use of products, licenses, and contracts.
SAMtoa Tool Operation:
A responsible person must be appointed from your side to ensure that the agreed handover points in the process are adhered to. The deliverables must be completed at the planned points in time.
