Sessions

How to Scale a SAM Function into a Strategic Capability in a Decentralized SaaS Landscape?

Keynote

Thursday, December 04

08:45 am - 09:10 am

Live in Chicago

Less Details

This presentation explores how to scale up a SAM process tailored to a modern, decentralized, SaaS-based company. In such environments, gaining a holistic view of software assets and improving data accuracy is often complex due to fragmented ownership and siloed systems. More than tools, such an endeavour requires clear structures, stakeholder alignment, and a strategic roadmap. Over 18 months, established consistent data flows, improved lifecycle transparency, and steadily expanded oversight across thousands of titles. It will also examine the successes and setbacks along the way, with a special focus on why relationship-building across the organization is critical to long-term SAM maturity. In this session you will learn:

  • How to build and implement a SaaS focussed SAM program within the span of a year?
  • How to tackle challenges like fragmented ownership and missing lifecycle data?
  • How to build stakeholder relationships that drive engagement, accuracy, and program growth?
