Audit-Proof, SaaS-Smart, Negotiation-Ready: Your 2026 Tier 1 Roadmap

Many organizations already have vendor agreements and negotiation teams in place – but the real challenge lies in the journey to that point of strength. This webinar explores the critical steps in onboarding vendors into Software Asset Management (SAM) tools to produce accurate Effective License Positions (ELPs).

We’ll unpack:

  • The nuances of data extraction and manipulation, including what to request from vendors (e.g., Microsoft MLS, Oracle license inventory reports)
  • How to consolidate and validate entitlement data across years of renewals
  • Why relying solely on purchase records can lead to inaccuracies and how to ensure full inventory coverage and entitlement visibility
  • A framework for vendor onboarding that applies across tier 1 vendors—whether you’re facing an audit, launching a new project, or planning a vendor transition

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to align discovery and entitlement data, avoid common pitfalls, and confidently navigate the complexities of SAM tool integration. You’ll obtain a clear roadmap of what steps you need to take to be successful in 2026 audits and negotiations.
