Mainframe & Distributed Software
Asset Management Expertise

We guide our clients to better pricing and improved performance.

As an industry leader in software asset management, software analysis, benchmarking and software asset optimization, ISAM helps its clients understand their mainframe/distributed software portfolios and how to implement best practice software asset management strategies to directly impact software pricing and budgets.

ISAM’s Software Intelligence Database, with more than 7 million data points, has mainframe and distributed software pricing data from data centers of various sizes and representing nearly all industries. Our database is the largest and most comprehensive in the software asset management industry. Even more, the Software Intelligence Database is the backbone for numerous applications to guide software asset management teams to “best in class” software pricing.

Services for Mainframe Software Environments

We offer several services to assist your company’s new or seasoned software asset management team. We provide IBM pricing audits, SAS usage analyses, mainframe software benchmarking, software usage analyses, vendor negotiation support and data center consolidation/relocation support services.

A few of our introductory services (such as the IBM audit and SAS usage analysis) are risk-free in that we do not charge unless we are able to indentify software savings. Also, our introductory services require very little effort to get started.

Please review the menu to the left to read more about any of our mainframe software services.

Services for Distributed Software Environments

There are very few software asset management consultant experts in the world and there are even fewer that specialize in distributed software – primarily, because it is so complex. ISAM offers both a distributed software analysis and a distributed software virtualization analysis. Both services have a proven history of identifying significant budget savings for our clients.
