Mike Austin discusses the evolving role of asset management (hardware and software) as organizations fold HAM/SAM into broader ITAM responsibilities. He highlights the complexity and potential licensing challenges that arise in dynamic IT environments—licensing models may vary (API-call based, data-usage based), and teams must also monitor open-source components for risk.

So, you know, there is going to become a time, I do know of some organizations that are already starting down this path where the asset management teams, whether that's hardware or the software, like HAM or Sam, you know, just put it into that ITAM category, is going to be asked to manage these things. And it is complex. Right. It can be a potential license challenge in the software asset management thing because the, the licensing rules are very different. It could be like API calls, it could be based on data usage, it could be open source software that you need to be monitoring in the environment because it may have risk for whatever reasons. So it can definitely be a license challenge.
