Getting Started with ISAM’s SCORcardSM
Understanding Your Software Costs: Software Benchmarking
Working with ISAM, our process begins with our SCORcard assessment. This service helps you:
- Identify critical measures for analyzing and controlling software costs
- Quantify your company’s performance (software benchmarking) against other mainframe software purchasers.
Our SCORcard assessment is a quick and cost-effective way to provide you with valuable software benchmarking data based upon best practices in the industry and among those with similar sized data centers. Understanding your software financial performance helps you make better decisions about your software portfolio.
The SCORcard assessment requires a few easily obtainable data components that are already a part of your software asset management process and plan. From the point ISAM receives the data from you, the SCORcard assessment takes only a few weeks to produce and then present to your software asset management team.
Following the SCORcard assessment, ISAM is prepared to conduct a variety of other services (such as an IBM® pricing audit or PILS™ analysis) to further realize savings and software asset management best practices.
Please see Our Services to better understand the additional ways we can help you save software budget dollars and better manage your software assets.
