ISAM Celebrates a Decade of Providing Mainframe Software Asset Management
(St. Paul, Minn - November 13, 2006) - ISAM (Information Systems Asset Management) is marking its 10th anniversary of helping clients successfully manage mainframe software costs. The company started in 1996 at a time when changes in mainframe hardware technology, software licensing, and vendor consolidation left many data center managers struggling to objectively understand and manage mainframe software portfolios.
Having grown to one of the leading software benchmarking and software asset management companies in the world, ISAM has built a benchmarking database of over 500 vendors, 15,000 products and alternatives and 7 million data points to enable its data center clients to objectively understand and manage their software cost structures.
“In our ten year history, ISAM has grown to a point where we now do business with nine of the 12 largest I.T. outsourcers in the United States and have helped hundreds of mainframe clients,” says president and founder, Michael Swanson.
“Data center managers have chosen ISAM to be an important member of their software asset management (SAM) teams because our company is able to provide valuable benchmarking data and product intelligence that results in immediate savings and recommendations that improve software best practices,” added Swanson.
