The Saints & Masters SAM Optimisation Framework
A repeatable approach to bringing software spend, entitlement and risk under one operating model. Built on Crayon's global SAM IP and refined for enterprises with hybrid Microsoft, AWS and SaaS estates.
Our top-tier migration service is founded on 4 essential steps:
Full inventory of installed software, SaaS subscriptions and cloud-metered consumption across every business unit and geography.
Reconcile contracts, agreements and proof of entitlement against actual usage to expose over-licensing, under-licensing and audit risk.
Right-size licence positions, restructure agreements, migrate workloads to optimal commercial vehicles and forecast multi-year savings.
Quarterly true-ups, renewal calendars and a managed SAM service that turns licensing from a fire drill into a discipline.
