Course Description

The CSAM with a difference.

There are many CSAM certifications available across the globe. Some of us in ITAM India have taken these courses and passed the certification exams. But we have found that most of them have not really been useful in the real world.

Whether we like it or not, SAM is not about theory. It is about practical application of practices that helps in:

• Maintaining software license compliance
• Providing visibility of licenses deployed
• Keeping a proper record of entitlements
• Optimizing costs
• Bein audit ready
• Preventing software piracy
• Creatin policies and processes to ensure all of the above.

We believe that takin a course and obtainin a certification should help in your everyday job and also enable you to et better jobs.

That’s why we have created this CSAM course differently.

Featured Review

Sheshu’s knowledge of Oracle licensing is extremely ood. There may not be anyone else with such deep understanding of how to license Oracle products and manage their contracts. Apart from this, he loves to teach. The combination of these two qualities make this course the best available anywhere in the world.
