Global Software Asset Management – Software Asset Manager
Context
Within ING Tech the Global Software Asset Management (SAM) department is responsible for creating transparency in the usage of software licenses, compliance position and consumption monitoring. We report to management about the compliance status on software contracts. Furthermore we foresee more and more the trend to move into service based contract like SaaS/Cloud, for this it is key for our department to monitor the consumption and trends. With this knowledge we advise management and follow up with stakeholders to come to deployment of software/SaaS/Cloud in the for ING most efficient way and to come to software/SaaS/Cloud contracts which are in line with ING’s needs.
In order to increase the control on software vendors and actively manage and follow up with stakeholders internally ING, a SAM Service Provider is added to the SAM team. The scope will grow significantly to around 50 vendors to be on-boarded to the SAMSP and continuously monitored from a software asset management perspective.
The SAM Service Provider analyses contracts, calculates the compliances and provides reporting including observations and recommendations.
Where the SAM department mainly focusses on aligning with the stakeholders for insight in contracts and data but most importantly to advice and follow up on these observations and recommendations with the (business)stakeholders.
For a successful on-boarding of the software vendor to the SAMSP it is key to have a good network with the key stakeholders involved on the software vendor (business owners, product owners, contract managers, etc), to get a complete and up to date overview of all contracts, payments and license usage data but most importantly to follow up with these stakeholders based on the observations and recommendations of the SAMSP.
Once the software vendors are on-boarded and the consumption data is automated, the SAMSP monitors the compliance position for ING on a regular basis, where it is key to ensure contracts and license usage data remains up to date and shared with the SAMSP. Based on the reporting of the SAMSP, recommendations need to be followed up with internal stakeholders both from a contractual and compliance perspective.
