SAM Program Helps Philippine Bank Improve IT Efficiency and Security, Reduce Costs
Overview The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) provides its more than 3 million depositors with consumer and corporate banking services. In 2005, as an initial step in defining a standard operating environment, BPI worked with Microsoft Services consultants and Microsoft partner Ports & Packets to inventory its software and to profile its computer users. Results revealed that different BPI departments used a variety of purchasing procedures, which contributed to a mixed IT environment and made tracking software and licenses difficult. In response, Microsoft and Ports & Packets helped BPI develop a comprehensive Software Asset Management (SAM) program.
