To accelerate the speed of Software Asset Management (SAM) adoption and minimize the disruption associated with implementing a new technology, Snow makes it easy to integrate the SAM platform with existing investments such as autodiscovery tools, IT Asset Management (ITAM) solutions and Service Desks.

Snow Integration Connectors reduce both licensing and implementation costs by taking advantage of existing investments and avoiding technology duplication.

DATA EXCHANGE CONNECTORS

Snow can provide ITSM solutions, such as ServiceNow, with the valuable SAM intelligence required to both maximize the efficiency of the service desk function and ensure high user productivity.  Clean and accurate data from Snow License Manager can be used to help: 

• Accelerate problem resolution by providing accurate and normalized software data, including vendor name, title, version number and patch level
• Facilitate new software deployments by confirming if the organization holds appropriate licenses to fulfil requests;
• Support change management processes by identifying software and hardware that does not comply with standards, or requires upgrading

Combining the power of Snow’s SAM platform with service management solutions like ServiceNow* provides organizations with a complete and integrated solution for managing software and hardware use across the network.
