Inc. on Jan. 13 announced the general availability of its new software
asset management solution, Decision Support System - Software Asset
Management (BigFix DSS SAM).
Jeff Spitulnik, director of product management at BigFix, said the
company specializes in high-performance enterprise systems and security
management solutions, and BigFix DSS SAM leverages the BigFix unified
management platform to bring deep, continuous visibility and automation
to software asset management, enabling enterprises to manage software
licenses, deployment, and usage with greater speed and accuracy than
other approaches.
Indeed, by bringing new levels of visibility and efficiency to
software asset management, DSS SAM can help enterprises cut IT costs
stemming from unused software licenses, license misallocations, rogue
and non-standard software installations, software under-licensing
penalties, and expensive software audit and true-up processes,
Spitulnik said.
“We pride ourselves on the visibility and accuracy of the data we
deliver,” Spitulnik told eWEEK. “With a tool like DSS SAM you can get
extreme visibility into all your endpoints, and you can turn software
asset management from a difficult activity to an everyday activity.”
