The Software Industry Research Board’s (SIRB) 2009/10 research project conducted by IDC
Of the 600 UK organisations surveyed:

•    An overwhelming majority  are failing to address all areas of SAM
•    Most are continuing to expose themselves to the higher costs associated with over-purchasing and also liability for licence overuse
•    A majority are merely dabbling in SAM and not exploiting their ROI and realising true benefits
•    Only those that identify themselves as more mature with regards SAM are recognising ROI, making cost savings of between 1-20%
This event is aimed to provide knowledge and share experience to address specific barriers that can hinder the progression of SAM maturity.  SIRB aims to offer advice and guidance to overcome the issues and define the steps to achieve an effective SAM programme that delivers a return on your investment.
