USU Leads the SAM Rankings:
USU, with its portfolio of solutions designed for large accounts, is proud to be recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Software Asset Management Solutions, Q1 2025.
This recognition confirms that our customers can benefit from a powerful Software Asset Management (SAM) solution, which has evolved from a simple SAM tool to an IT Asset Management (ITAM) solution offering both visibility and optimization for the management of hardware (HAM), software (SAM) and SaaS.
We've integrated AI into the core of our innovation to improve both user functionality, such as SAM chatbots and knowledge management tools, and back-end operations, such as EULA recognition and SaaS license management.
Our vision is clear: to enable hybrid businesses to efficiently manage their IT through an ITAM/SAM solution that can integrate IT Service Management (ITSM) and Enterprise Service Management (ESM).
Please note: USU received the maximum score on 9 of the 14 criteria assessed.Source: The Forrester Wave™: Software Asset Management Solutions, Q1 2025 – The Nine Providers That Matter Most and How They Stack Up by Biswajeet Mahapatra, Frederic Giron, Min Say, and Bill Nagel
