The IBM Licensing for Software Asset Management App
What is the ServiceNow IBM Licensing for Software Asset Management app?
Launched in February 2023 as part of the ServiceNow “Utah” early access release, this app is a companion app to the ServiceNow IBM Compliance for Software Asset Management to create a complete IBM native solution. This solution includes Anglepoint’s IBM Managed Service, which offers the ability to identify, measure, and track IBM’s software natively within the ServiceNow SAM Professional/Enterprise platform.
For customers who are a part of the IBM Authorized SAM Partner (IASP) with an Anglepoint Managed Service, IBM may accept this solution as a replacement to ILMT for sub-capacity reporting.
What does this mean for ServiceNow customers like me?
In a word: simplicity.
Life is better when data is natively available and integrated throughout the ServiceNow platform. This solution will simplify IBM license management by making the information accessible in one location, saving time and reducing the inevitable errors that come with reconciling data from multiple sources.
As a SAM manager with this technology, you can finally be confident you are accurately counting, managing, and negotiating future IBM spend from a position of knowledge and power.
How can I get started?
Customers interested in the app can get started in one of two ways.
- Schedule a time to speak to Anglepoint about the solution.
- Request the app on the ServiceNow Store.
In both cases, Anglepoint will help you identify the next steps needed to bring this solution to your organization.
