The Austrian Federal Railways implements the Software Asset Management
platform SmartTrack successfully
Aachen/Germany, September 20, 2016 - Aspera's customer Austrian Federal
Railways (ÖBB) won 2nd place at the 5th SAMS Europe Award for group-wide
rollout of the automated software asset management (SAM) solution
SmartTrack. The award was presented yesterday evening during the awards
ceremony at the Steigenberger Hotel am Kanzleramt in Berlin.
Nearly 200 leading experts from the European SAM community met under the
slogan "Managing SAM Transition and Transformation" on September 19-20,
2016. ÖBB impressed the jury with their commitment to enterprise-wide SAM
and achieved 2nd place in the category "Overall Project / Strategy".
"This project's success is the reward for shaping and accomplishing a
large-scale transformation process," said Hirsa Navid, Business Development
Manager, ÖBB Business Competence Center GmbH, who was presented with the
award. "We're delighted at this token of acknowledgment for an exceptional
team achievement. Apart from saving a lot of time and money, we managed to
create great awareness for software license management at the group."
The project's objective was to enable automated license reporting,
initially for the strategically most important vendors, and optimize the IT
processes that had evolved over many years in a heterogeneous IT landscape.
The new SAM solution was intended to replace redundant and manual
processes. After the rolls and responsibilities had been defined, the SAM
project was implemented on both the client and server side, following a
multi-stage concept. As part of the project SmartTrack was rolled out to
cover the license management needs for nearly 40,000 employees throughout
the group.
"Congratulations to our customer ÖBB," says Olaf Diehl, Managing Director
of Aspera. "We're overjoyed that we've been able to help Austrian Federal
Railways with a strategic solution suited to its needs. SmartTrack
impressed with its depth of features and maximum precision in recording the
products of software vendors on the market."

asset management and software license management. The event is staged by
