Software Asset Management is frustrating.

Yes, there's incredible SAM value in your Network management/inventory solution, but the effort to identify 'auditable' software from the messy inventory data can take a lot of valuable time away from you.

Ofcourse, you already know that; 'spreadsheet kungfu' is what you have to do everytime there's a compliance question about Microsoft (or Adobe, or Symantec or Attachmate ...).

 Then they give you the purchase data....

Each vendor has different rules & methods for determining compliancy; this is where simple math of 'inventory - purchase = position' fails. Calculating usage rights, upgrades and downgrade rights - even for just one vendor - sometimes makes quantum mechanics look like a walk in the park.

 No wonder 'SAM' is frustrating.
