Announcing The Launch Of The Ultima SAM Platform

Ultima has launched a new Software Asset Management (SAM) Platform powered by the award-winning Snow License Manager technology. This will provide Ultima’s customers with the combined convenience of a known and trusted SAM technology, hosted and managed by Ultima’s established and mature Technical Service Centre. It will also enable customers to gain visibility of their software and hardware estate, mitigate risks through increased control, avoiding unnecessary cost with a solution that negates the complexity and overheads of an on-premise installation. Ultima’s investment in the new platform represents a continued commitment to ensuring customers are supported throughout the lifecycle of their IT initiatives and strategies. SAM is recognised as a fundamental element of optimising existing IT as well as aiding change through the delivery of current, accurate and complete information.

Ultima’s Head of SAM Services commented, “When you think about what Ultima offers customers today; everything from strategy and planning through to consultancy and managed services, it’s clear that a strong SAM solution is essential to ensure we are delivering the best solutions we can. SAM has moved on and is no longer just about license compliance, SAM has become a source of Business Intelligence for IT functions themselves, often providing the only accurate and relevant single view of the entire estate. By using the Ultima SAM Platform to understand exactly what the customer’s environment looks like, our software, consultancy and managed services teams can provide even better results, and of course we can always deliver ‘traditional’ SAM services through the platform too.”

This partnership brings the best of breeds together into one holistic solution, coupled with Ultima's Microsoft LSP status, customers have a unique offering in Ultima to facilitate all their software management needs. 

Allen Manville, Alliances & Business Development Director at Snow Software also remarked “We are delighted to welcome Ultima to the Snow Partner program as a Gold Partner. Ultima are one of the most respected IT Solution Providers in the UK market with loyal customers who enjoy a high level of service. This partnership ensures that Ultima can offer the industry leading SAM technology to current and future customers to underpin their excellent Software Services & Solutions”.

Ultima is one of the first SAM Platforms to offer customers Snow’s latest License Manager 8 as a hosted service. License Manager 8 is the largest ever release Snow has brought to market, delivering some incredible new technology that will undoubtedly help drive SAM in a smarter, more rounded way, getting in control immediately and staying there, as well as into the future with new trending and forecasting. Customer’s will have the chance to see the features and benefits of Ultima’s SAM Platform for themselves during our upcoming SAM Webinar.
