Develop effective controls to protect your software
assets
and your business.
One of the biggest benefits to us as an
organisation is the advice that FAST has offered, in terms of
working towards becoming compliant. It has been a great asset
having someone either on the phone or face to face to talk me
through the practical issues.

Effective policies and procedures are an essential element of
good IT management. For the purposes of software asset management
(SAM), they should detail the principles of software management and
explain, both internally and to meet compliance requirements, how
your organisation deals with the complete lifecycle of its
software.
Having clear, consistent and workable IT policies and procedures
will reduce your business risk by ensuring that you have effective
controls in place.
FAST consultants have extensive experience in formulating
policies for organisations of all sizes, across all industries, and
will:
- Identify gaps in your current IT policies
- Make recommendations to improve your
policies
- Write, amend or update your policy and
procedure documents
- Ensure your policies are in line with
current best practice
FAST will ensure that your policies meet your business
needs and that they fulfil the requirements of the FAST
Standard for Software Compliance. In doing so, they will also
be aligned with other best practice frameworks, including ITIL and
ISO19770-1.
Protect critical business tools and systems
In addition to software licence management, your policies will
cover: Internet, email, security, disaster recovery and business
continuity. You’ll be equipped to create a solid platform that
ensures appropriate usage of crucial information assets and builds
a resilient business.
