The Crayon technology:SAM-iQ
SAM-iQIt provides a structured framework and is designed for organizations that build and maintain their own internal compliance systems. The program is implemented in line with current global SAM best practice, resulting in the optimisation of an organisation's IT estate, through a solid understanding of the cost of ownership, asset optimisation and return on investment.
The program provides access to a unique range of Crayon tools and training courses to support and provide a common basis for developing and maintaining organisational software management standards and practices.
PLANNING The Planning Phase is primarily concerned with setting the correct environment for SAM and involves assessing and managing
the current maturity levels and risk, whilst also defining the ownership, the scope, the roles and responsibilities and the approval of the overall
management objectives.
IMPLEMENTATION The Implementation Phase focuses on
ensuring the SAM plan and all of the necessary tools and processes of the SAM-iQ framework are in place
and are ready to be maintained and optimised
MAINTENANCE The Maintenance Phase focuses on maintaining the implemented SAM system and
ensures that regular reviews are in place to validate that the program is delivering the expected outcomes, paving the way for the
process of continuous improvement.
Why now?Crayon has assisted thousands of organizations globally in delivering SAM services and we understand the challenges that internal IT teams face when trying to implement and maintain a set of ongoing SAM processes.
The SAM-iQ Program guides organisations through the initial planning and implementation phases, into a 'business as usual' activity that provides ongoing maintenance and optimisation.
