What is the purpose of the Remediation feature in SAM?

The Remediation feature in Software Asset Management (SAM) is designed specifically to address and correct software compliance issues. This feature plays a critical role in ensuring that an organization adheres to licensing agreements, manages its software assets effectively, and mitigates risks associated with software non-compliance. By using remediation tools, companies can identify discrepancies in their software usage, assess licensing mismatches, and implement necessary actions to rectify these issues. This process not only helps in compliance enforcement but also optimizes software usage and cost management by aligning actual software deployment with licensing requirements.

The focus of remediation is on correcting non-compliance rather than gathering user feedback, developing new software, or monitoring performance. These aspects are essential in software management but do not align with the primary objective of the Remediation feature, which is to ensure that all software assets are used in accordance with established licensing agreements and organizational policies.
