Software Asset Management
Software Asset Management is the process of managing and optimising software. However, not every organisation has this specialism in-house.
PQR provides Software Asset Management expertise with smart services to suit the needs of any organisation.
Software Asset Management (SAM) involves obtaining information about the implementation, maintenance, usage and ultimately optimisation of software. This should be done in a way that is consistent and compliant with usage and organisational objectives, while maximising the return on software investment .
The purpose of Software Asset Management
The goal of SAM is to be efficient and compliant when it comes to software. SAM is important for any type of organisation, but not every organisation has this expertise in-house. Software Asset Management as a Service from PQR supports organisations flexibly and scalably in managing their software assets and is tailored to the specific needs of the organisation.

Microsoft 365 Healthcheck
The Microsoft 365 Healthcheck provides insight into the use and adoption of the Microsoft 365 and Office 365 licences present. This Healthcheck identifies which Microsoft licences are contracted and what opportunities there are to optimise this. In this way, unused licences and inactive users are discovered, which can lead to cost savings. It also maps out which functionality is actually being used. The results of the Microsoft 365 Healthcheck are described in a report, including recommendations for optimisation, and our licence specialist provides a personal explanation of this report.
Microsoft License Compliance Check
For a comprehensive inventory of the usage rights and compliance position for Microsoft licences and services, PQR can perform a Microsoft License Compliance Check. This involves a thorough analysis of the entire hardware and software environment. This analysis produces the Effective Deployment Position, which provides insight into which licences are required to correctly licence the current IT infrastructure. This analysis is accurately compared with the Microsoft usage rights present and this results in an Effective Licence Position. This reflects any deficiencies to become compliant. All results are displayed in a report and this is explained. The Microsoft License Compliance Check is conducted under the guidance of a PQR licensing specialist.
Software Asset Management as a Service
With Software Asset Management (SAM) as a Service, PQR takes all matters relating to Microsoft Software Asset Management completely off your hands. SAM as a Service includes as standard the services covered by the Microsoft 365 Healthcheck and the Microsoft License Compliance Check. There is also a quarterly meeting in which our licence specialists update you on the status of the licences you have purchased and are using, so that you can act immediately if you are over- or under-licensed. This information is also valuable when renewing your licences to avoid unnecessary costs. The PQR Licence Desk is at your service for all support in the field of Microsoft Lifecycle Management. In case of Microsoft licensing issues or changes, you will be proactively informed about the possibilities, costs and support.
