“Software asset management (SAM) will fail to support critical business initiatives if provisions are not made for continuously identifying, collecting and tracking vital entitlement data attributes.”¹

Historically, Software Asset Management (SAM) teams have focused on tracking entitlement data to prove compliance, ensuring the right licenses, quantities, and documentation are in place for when a vendor audit notification arrives.

Today, simply collecting and aggregating documentation is no longer enough. Leading organizations are transforming entitlement data from static records into strategic assets that fuel growth, innovation, and smarter decision-making.

This Gartner^® research report identifies a 3-step process for effective software entitlement management, including:

• “Work with stakeholders to identify business-aligned data attributes and data quality metrics.”
• “Develop data quality standards for your entitlement data and its data attributes”
• “Assign accountability and responsibility for software entitlement data quality management”

In our opinion, this process outlined by Gartner perfectly supports and aligns with Anglepoint’s entitlement management service offering.

In today’s environment, modern organizations depend on accurate entitlement data to make informed decisions across finance, security, performance, and modernization efforts. Managing your data’s quality and ensuring that it is complete, accessible, and reliable directly impacts your ability to support these critical business goals.
