SAM Part 1: Readiness Assurance Guide for Your Software Compliance Audits
Published 29th Jun 2011 | Source - | Pages -A Software Audit Looms in Your Future. If you are increasingly anxious about software audits, you’re not alone.

An onsite audit can disrupt the work environment for many months and pull your internal resources away from key projects for the onerous task of gathering whatever information the software provider demands—from software invoices to the documents that came from companies you have acquired.
This whitepaper talks about Software Asset Management, how to survive audits, contain costs and drive efficiency.
