M2 Technologies Certified In Software Asset Management

NASHUA, N.H., Jan. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Manufacturing design technology consultant M2 Technologies announced they are now certified in Software Asset Management (SAM) by the Business Software Alliance (BSA).  The SAM Advantage program offered by the BSA is the first industry software asset management (SAM) course aligned to the ISO/IEC 19770-1 SAM standard.

Software Asset Management is a business practice that involves managing and optimizing the purchase, deployment, maintenance, utilization, and disposal of software applications within an organization. SAM can serve many different functions within organizations, depending on their software portfolios, IT infrastructures, resource availability, and business goals.  Independent studies have shown that a well defined SAM program reduces costs in year one by 30% while reducing risks associated with software licensing.

M2's Solutions Engineer, Joseph Boell, successfully completed the SAM Advantage course this January. Principal, Matthew Burke, stated, "We are pleased to be able to offer our clients the SAM business practice for managing their Autodesk software assets. Aside from balancing software licenses, clients can reduce software and support costs, improve worker productivity, limit overhead and establish ongoing policies and procedures that mitigate corporate risk. This is another piece of our commitment to our customers."

M2 will host a webinar on Software Asset Management in February. For more information or to register, call 877.311.6284 or visit www.m2t.com.
