Leading the Way to Better Software Asset Management

ISAM (Information Systems Asset Management) was started in 1996 to assist data center clients in decreasing their software costs.

ISAM recognized that software portfolio costs were escalating at a greater rate than data center hardware and maintenance services. ISAM recognized that without competitive pricing information, data center managers had little leverage to effectively manage the software portfolio costs that were increasingly affecting their bottom line.

ISAM helps its clients understand their total mainframe software portfolio and how to implement best practices that help them reach “Best in Class” status. ISAM defines “Best in Class” as having achieved a top 10 percent ranking among similar sized data centers for software portfolio costs.

To help our clients reach “Best in Class” status, we offer:

• SAS™ usage analysis
• Data center optimization
• Software portfolio benchmarking
• Software usage analysis (PILS™ – Product Image Licensing)
• Software vendor negotiation
• Data center consolidation assistance.
