Understanding Your Starting Point

Understanding Your Current Software Reality

Every successful software asset management transformation begins with a thorough assessment of your current state. During this critical first phase, Cadena's specialists evaluate your existing environment to establish a clear baseline and identify the path forward.

Our assessment approach includes:

  • Current Environment Analysis: We thoroughly examine your existing software inventory, licensing agreements, management tools, and processes to understand what's working and what needs improvement.
  • Gap Identification: We compare your current practices against industry standards to identify specific areas where improvements will deliver the greatest value.
  • Risk Assessment: We evaluate potential compliance vulnerabilities, cost inefficiencies, and process weaknesses that could be impacting your organization.
  • Stakeholder Alignment: We engage with key stakeholders across IT, procurement, and business units to understand needs and ensure our solution addresses organizational priorities.
  • Strategic Roadmap Development: We create a phased implementation plan that addresses immediate pain points while building toward comprehensive SAM maturity.

The assessment phase typically takes 2-4 weeks and concludes with a detailed findings report and strategic recommendations. This thorough evaluation creates the foundation for a transformation that delivers measurable business value while addressing your organization's unique challenges.
