Ankura Adds Solutions to its Technology Advisory Portfolio

Ankura has announced the launch of its Software License Compliance and Cost Optimization Tool, Ankura SAM Manager, which expands upon its robust Data and Technology offering and technology-enabled Managed Software Asset Management Services, bolstering its comprehensive client advisory capabilities.

With the addition of this solution to Ankura’s technology advisory portfolio, the Firm will be able to continue to handle the rising complexity of its customers’ software infrastructure and inventory through the use of innovative digital technologies. The Ankura SAM Manager is an automated platform that aids in the identification of inventory and discovery services, the monitoring of the software footprint for both passive and active use, the identification of consumption statistics, the provision of purchase history management, the identification of piracy, and the monitoring of virtual environments. Ankura professionals use this information to give cost-cutting benefits to clients across their whole software portfolio.

The Ankura SAM Manager solution also handles the difficulty of merging numerous inventory data source systems into a single platform, hence enhancing asset identification quality through integrated monitoring capabilities that offer alerts for any non-compliant software. It also enables the solution’s customization and deployment to an on-premises environment, as well as the customization of workflows, dashboards, and analytics models for each firm.

Ankura Consulting’s technology-enabled Managed Software Asset Management Services, coupled with its Ankura SAM Manager application, offer better control of budgets, demand, and consumption, and have a proven track record of generating up-front savings of up to 68 percent.
