The Guide to Software Asset Management - English and Arabic version
The Office of the Minister of State for Administrative Reform (OMSAR), being the lead government entity in promoting the adoption of ICT as a tool for administrative development, was aiming at a process through which the Lebanese administration collects, organizes, accesses, analyzes, and shares information on a scale and with unprecedented efficiency.
Within this framework, OMSAR, in association with Microsoft, launched SAM (Software Asset Management) as a multi-phased project that aims to lay down the foundation in which the Lebanese Public Administration should address their software requirements. This project also assists in building the capacity of IT managers by making them aware about SAM and its applications in order to attain lower cost with higher efficiency, transparency and accountability. The production and dissemination of this Guide is considered to be a basic task in this project.
