Press Release: Soft-Aid Joins Symantec Software Asset Management (SAM) Program

WOBURN, Mass., March 3, 2009– Soft-Aid, a leading provider of Software Asset Management (SAM) consulting services, announced today it has joined Symantec's Software Asset Management Program.

David Yashar, Managing Consultant of Soft-Aid, said:

"Soft-Aid is pleased to announce its certification within Symantec's Software Asset Management program. This certification supports our mission to help our clients understand Symantec's licensing programs and make best use of Symantec's licensing options."

When a Soft-Aid client needs assistance in understanding Symantec's licensing programs or understanding their level of compliance, Soft-Aid can enlist Symantec resources. This can be done (at the customer's request) with our without notification to Symantec. The benefit of the latter is that Soft-Aid can then procure a history of all Symantec license purchases on behalf of the customer and more formally help in securing Symantec resources. David continues, "we see this as a real value-add for our and Symantec's customers."
