Software Portfolio Management (SPM) is a proven enterprise methodology that combines three core data streams to drive an all-up view of IT investments. These three service areas include Software Asset Management (SAM), technology demand roadmapping, and commercial analysis. Together, these core areas comprise the entirety of an organization's software portfolio, with SPM being the investment which ensures the organization's ongoing software portfolio best-practice.

A successfully implemented SPM service drives transparency with a process that delivers governance, avoiding manual and reactive interventions. This ensures IT investments support evolving business needs while delivering value, innovation, and alignment to cost management initiatives.
