Sure, here are some steps you can follow to clean Software Models in SAM Pro:
- Identify Unused Software Models: Use the Software Usage report to identify software models that are not being used. This report shows the number of installations, users, and usage hours for each software model.
- Archive Unused Software Models: If a software model is not being used, consider archiving it. This will remove it from the list of active software models, but it will still be available for historical reporting.
- Delete Unused Software Models: If a software model is not being used and you do not need to keep it for historical reporting, you can delete it. Be careful with this option, as it cannot be undone.
- Merge Duplicate Software Models: If you have duplicate software models, you can merge them into a single model. This will consolidate all the installations, users, and usage hours into one model.
- Update Software Model Information: Make sure the information for each software model is accurate and up-to-date. This includes the software publisher, version, and license type.
- Regularly Review Software Models: Regularly review your software models to ensure they are still relevant and accurate. This can be done as part of a regular SAM Pro audit.
- Automate Software Model Management: Consider using a tool like ServiceNow's Software Asset Management to automate the management of your software models. This can help ensure your software models are always up-to-date and accurate.
Remember, cleaning up your Software Models is an ongoing process, not a one-time task. Regularly reviewing and updating your software models will help ensure your SAM Pro is always accurate and effective.

Great discussion on software models! Choosing the right model—whether it's Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid—can make a huge difference in project outcomes. It’s all about aligning the model with the team’s workflow and project goals. What’s your go-to model for complex implementations?
