SAM Baseline includes
complete inventory of
Microsoft software on
user PCs and servers, and
also presumes thorough
licensing analysis for all
groups of software assets.
SAM Baseline
Softline provides recommendation on licensing
optimization taking into account the IT
infrastructure development strategy.
You receive a report about the key opportunities
of IT asset cost reduction (redundant licensing),
legal risk elimination and ROI improvement.
You receive a report about potential security
threats caused by counterfeit and out-of-date
software.
You will get a complete list of installed
software and its versions
We assess your IT infrastructure and SAM
processes from the security point of view.

Absence of streamlined
SAM processes causes
many threats to corporate
IT infrastructure. Counterfeit
software can contain
malicious code, and
out-of-date software can have
vulnerabilities.
Comprehensive software inventory allows to
develop cloud migration plans.
Analysis of potential cost savings due
to migration of applications to the data
center and abandoning the obsolete local
infrastructure.

Softline will assess your
You will receive recommendations for
improvement of virtual infrastructure
licensing (including using SQL in virtual
environments).
We will also help you to optimize server
infrastructure from the technical point of
view.
This project allows to start accounting
software assets without
labor-consuming inventory of user PCs.

SAM Virtualization and SQL
Often less attention is given
to data center and server
licensing than to user
software, but in this field the
risks of insufficient amount
or inappropriate type of
licenses are usually very high.
They can be related to VM
migration, deployment of test
virtual servers, insufficient
control over distributed IT
infrastructure.
