The Software Asset Management publisher pack for Microsoft supports cost-based licensing optimizations for Microsoft. These licensing optimizations enable you to determine the most cost-effective licensing solutions for your Microsoft software products across hybrid infrastructures.

You can view in-depth details about your realized and potential licensing optimizations in the Microsoft Core License Optimization Reports [samp_ms_optimization_report] table. This table can help you

• gain insight into the licensing optimizations that have already been implemented across your Microsoft deployments,
• gain insight into the recommended licensing optimizations that can potentially bring you additional savings,
• better understand your Microsoft license consumption,
• determine the cost savings that you have achieved by using the Software Asset Management application to track and manage your Microsoft licenses,
• and download optimization reports that you can share with other users in your organization.
