ISO / IEC 19770 Series of SAM Standards
The importance of Software Asset Management (SAM) is relevant from the fact that ISO standards are developed and published for Software Asset Management (SAM). Two of the key components to successful SAM implementations are (1.Processes and 2. Identification of Software) are addressed by ISO-19770-1 (Processes) and ISO 19770-2 (Software Identification tag). To kick-start, build, manage and streamline your SAM Program it is recommended to procure the latest version of ISO 19770-1 here
The ISO 19770 series of standards for Software Asset Management (SAM) are:
ISO/IEC 19770-1:2012 :: Information technology — Software asset management — Part 1: Processes and tiered assessment of conformance – ISO/IEC 19770-1:2012 establishes a baseline for anintegrated set of processes for Software Asset Management (SAM), divided into tiers to allow for incremental implementation, assessment and recognition. ISO / IEC 19770-1
ISO/IEC 19770-2:2009 :: Information technology — Software asset management — Part 2: Software identification tag – ISO/IEC 19770-2:2009 establishes specifications for tagging software to optimize its identification and management. ISO / IEC 19770-2
ISO/IEC CD 19770-3 :: Information technology — Software asset management — Part 3: Software entitlement tag (Under Development) – ISO/IEC 19770-3 focuses on capturing and defining the information necessary to describe how software may be used, known as the entitlement. This standard will provide a framework and criterion of measurement for creating unambiguous definitions of entitlements. ISO / IEC 19770-3
ISO/IEC CD 19770-5 :: Information technology — Software asset management — Part 5: Overview and vocabulary (Under Development) – The Standard will provide introduction and glossary for the ISO/IEC SAM standards ISO / IEC 19770-5
