Sessions

How SAM Can Align Processes & Automate Workflows to Drive Efficiency and Cost Savings

Case Study

Monday, September 28

12:00 pm - 12:25 pm

Live in Amsterdam

Less Details

SAM often overlaps with Procurement and Contract Management and touches critical areas like security. Yet many processes remain siloed: notifications, data collection, and workflows are duplicated, creating inefficiencies and missed opportunities for cost savings. In this session, we explore how SAM can break down these silos by aligning processes, integrating data from multiple sources, and building unified automations. By connecting workflows for renewals, lifecycle management, usage monitoring, and security-related tasks, organizations can simplify operations, reduce inefficiencies, support other teams in performing better, and unlock tangible financial and operational benefits. In this session we will exlore:

  • How to align SAM processes with Procurement and Contract Management to reduce overlap and streamline workflows.
  • How to integrate lifecycle and usage data with automated notifications to improve renewals, decommissioning, and security-related actions.
  • How to build unified automations that consolidate relevant information into a single actionable workflow.
  • How to leverage SAM insights to support other teams, simplify operations, and create measurable cost savings.
