About the Microsoft SAM Programme

The Microsoft SAM Programme (UK) is designed to help customers make the most of their software investment. It follows a clear and structured framework that helps you to identify & review software licences, establish a licence position, benefit from SAM training and get certified for your licence compliance position. It provides you with a safeguard against a Microsoft led review or audit. Civica believes that the Microsoft SAM Program should be core and fundamental to every SAM strategy.
