Software Asset Management (SAM) ROI Calculator

Software Asset Management (SAM) is a business practice that involves managing and optimizing the purchase, deployment, maintenance, utilization, and disposal of software applications within an organization. Effective SAM helps reduce costs, manage risks, and ensure compliance with software licenses.

Our calculator uses industry-standard benchmarks based on research from leading analyst firms. The savings percentages (30% for ad-hoc, 15% for basic, 5% for optimized) reflect typical cost reduction opportunities when moving to the next maturity level. Actual savings may vary based on your specific situation, which is why we offer a free consultation to provide personalized estimates.

F1Group specializes in Microsoft technologies including Microsoft 365, Azure, Dynamics 365, Windows Server, SQL Server, and other enterprise Microsoft products. We also provide guidance on third-party software commonly used alongside Microsoft platforms to ensure comprehensive software asset management.

Initial savings can often be realized within the first 90 days through license optimization and eliminating unused or redundant software. Full savings potential is typically achieved within 6-12 months as processes mature and ongoing optimization becomes embedded in your organization.

No, SAM is valuable for organizations of all sizes. Mid-sized businesses and growing companies often have the most to gain from implementing proper SAM practices, as they may have grown organically without formal software management processes. Even organizations with 50-100 employees can achieve significant savings.

After submitting your information, one of our SAM specialists will contact you within 1-2 business days to schedule a consultation. During the call, we'll review your current software environment, discuss your specific challenges, and provide tailored recommendations for optimizing your software assets and achieving the projected savings.
