[Research Report] The software asset management market is expected to grow from US$ 2,250.37 million in 2021 to US$ 5,150.51 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.6% from 2021 to 2028.
The administration of systems, rules, and procedures that enable the acquisition, implementation, usage, maintenance, and disposal of software applications inside an organization is known as software asset management (SAM). The software asset management market is a component of IT asset management that aims to guarantee that the company follows licensing agreements and does not overspend on software. The identification of software assets, the validity of end-user license agreements (EULAs), and the appropriate usage of free software are all crucial goals of any SAM endeavor. SAM documentation can protect one's company from anti-piracy lawsuits, minimize unintended license misuse, and provide control over the shadow software on the network.
Software asset management in a large organization may be so complicated that it requires the development and maintenance of a database that maintains information about software purchases, subscriptions, licenses, and patches. A team like this is often in charge of renewing software licenses, negotiating new license agreements, and detecting and removing software that is rarely or never utilized. The software asset management market will audit the number of software licenses purchased and reconcile it with the number of licenses installed to automate how information is obtained from numerous mobile, desktop, data center, and cloud inventory sources. SAM tools may also keep track of how many licenses are left. To keep expenses down, this knowledge may be utilized to delete or reallocate software that is not being used.

Increasing Need for Asset Lifecycle Management Boost the Demand For Software Asset Management Market
All procedures and IT infrastructure users need to manage, regulate, and safeguard the company's software assets throughout their life cycles. IT asset management (ITAM), IT service management (ITSM), and hardware asset management (HAM) are all subsets of software asset management (SAM). ITAM aims to improve software and hardware asset management while optimizing cost savings and limiting audit risks. Modern businesses consider software to be an integral element of their everyday operations. On average, an organization employs 288 applications to assist employees with various tasks. With the implementation of a successful asset life cycle management or life cycle asset management (LCAM), strategy businesses can determine when an asset will achieve its peak performance and how long it has left to serve the business. For instance, Blissfully is a software asset management and software as a service (SaaS) management application that can help save money, manage all software providers, improve productivity, and increase the software system's security. Thus, the increasing need for asset lifecycle management boosts the demand for the software asset management market.

SAM helps an organization to decrease software costs, increase compliance, and improve processes for employee software requests. The capability of an entity to replace, update, or enhance the overall skills of the enterprise can become critically impaired. Furthermore, support and managing costs for these critical assets necessarily grow to be a significant inconvenience. The need to follow the organization’s policies, control licensing, and assured security for the internal network, is needed for the enterprise to be successful. Software license management tools are driving the market.
In addition to managing software assets, software asset management (SAM) for cloud settings focuses on cost management, software portfolio management, and regulatory challenges. In cloud settings, where services are provided, configured, reconfigured, and released in a matter of minutes, software asset management (SAM) as a process must adapt to the quick speed of change. The various cloud approaches – Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) – have varying effects on software asset management (SAM), and organizations will need to carefully and proactively consider the impact their cloud strategy has on their software asset management (SAM) programs, in general, and specifically on their software licensing. For instance, Cloud Economics is a periodic comprehensive service that gives clients transparency and control over their Cloud deployment while also assisting them with budgeting, contract renewals, infrastructure changes, mergers and acquisitions, standards, rules, and processes.
