Why audit your network?

Most companies are not in total control of what's on their corporate networks.

That means they can't answer critical questions such as: What software, mp3, video, and music files live on my computers? When was my last comprehensive IT audit? Am I paying too much for software licenses and maintenance?

Benefits of Software Asset Management (SAM)

By setting up a SAM program, which should include GASP robust auditing tools, you'll have the answers, and consequently be able to head off many problems.

• Control costs— Eliminate overbuying software and overpaying maintenance fees. Enable charge backs to individual departments.
• Mitigate risk—Locate illegal copyrighted material, plus inventory your assets for a disaster recovery plan.
• Ensure Compliancy— Make sure you successfully negotiate the rabbit warren of Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and CFR 11.
• Make Informed Decisions— Knowing exactly what you have on the network helps predict the impact of new software deployment.

SAM supports your business goals

GASP is a key element in your SAM process. With an accurate IT inventory, you identify all software assets and make informed decisions—based on fact rather than guess work. This reduces IT costs, delivers a speedy ROI, and, ultimately, supports your business goals.
