COURSE OVERVIEW
This course prepares you for the exam leading to the IAITAM Certified Software Asset Management Certification.
The Certified Software Asset Manager (CSAM) course represents the culmination of ever changing software information, laws and regulations as promulgated in the past and directs focus to the new standards covering software applications and the severe detriments of not being aware of and adhering to current and proposed regulatory mandates.

It all begins here with the CSAM course of instruction and certification designed to be a core foundation builder to any ITAM program.
