IBM Data Maturity Assessment
IBM software often runs in complex, hybrid IT environments. But do you know exactly what is running, how much capacity is being consumed, and under what licensing model? Without that overview, it becomes difficult to license correctly, optimize costs or be prepared for audits.
That is why Infocura offers IBM Software Asset Management as a Service: a total solution in which we take on the complete management of your IBM license compliance. You keep the overview, we take care of the rest - efficiently and worry-free.
What is IBM Software Asset Management (SAM)?
IBM SAM is a service that gives your organization visibility into all your IBM software licenses - regardless of the underlying model. Whether it's PVU/VPC-based licenses (via ILMT), or licenses based on users, GBs, or other metrics, we clearly map everything and make sure you are compliant and optimally licensed.
With IBM SAM from Infocura:
- See what IBM software is running where
- Measure consumption according to all relevant licensing models
- Can demonstrate compliance during audits
- Avoid unintended over- or under-licensing
- Discover optimization opportunities and cost savings
Why choose IBM SAM as a Service from Infocura?
We take care of the installation, configuration and maintenance of all necessary tools, including ILMT where needed - on Linux, Windows or hybrid environments.
Your environment is correctly set up, actively monitored and compliant with IBM requirements - regardless of licensing model.
User-friendly dashboards give you instantly actionable insights for reporting to IT, finance or audit committees.
We proactively detect opportunities to optimize your environment and help you avoid waste and risk.
Our specialists are standing by - without physical intervention.
As an approved partner, we speak the IBM language and know the context. So you get the maximum benefit.
What to expect
During installation
- Setup of relevant tooling (such as ILMT, additional scanners or discovery tools)
- Configuration tailored to your infrastructure
- Remote execution with minimal impact
In maintenance
- Mandatory quarterly updates (e.g. ILMT)
- Monitoring of software usage and deviations
- Clear communication and proactive reporting
In cooperation
- You provide access (VPN, root or via scripts)
- We do the rest - including follow-up, analysis and advice
What does it deliver?
Our IBM SAM service is flexible. You can opt for pure compliance management, or for the full service where Infocura also delivers your IBM licenses. In the latter case - the total package - we can support you even more broadly, both technically and commercially.
With the total package, you also get:
- Renewal reminders - timely signals about expiring licenses
- EOL tracking - insight into products approaching End-of-Life
- Package suggestions - advice on more efficient or economical licensing models
By combining license management and sales, we create one integrated approach: transparent, scalable and tailored to your organizational needs.
What does it deliver?
Who is this of interest to?
This service is ideal for organizations that:
- Use IBM software with various licensing models (subcapacity, user-based, GB-based...)
- Want to be sure of correct and efficient licensing
- Have no internal capacity for complex license management
- Want peace of mind with audits and strategic decisions

- How does the exchange between systems work?
- Do employees understand the value of data?
- Are there sufficient skills for data analysis and interpretation?
- How is data used for decisions?
- Does the IT infrastructure match the data needs?
- Are modern tools (such as Power BI, data lakes) used effectively?
