Resumo: This thesis presents a project conducted to assess software asset management (SAM) maturity, through the usage of a SAM maturity model, in a Portuguese group, composed of six companies of different business sectors, in order to understand if the group was taking all necessary measures to prevent software non-compliance risks whilst maximizing SAM benefits. The SAM maturity model adopted was based on the Microsoft SAM Optimization Model (SOM) and comprised the assessment of ten core competences, each considering a total of four different maturity levels. The results show that despite the recent group efforts to improve SAM maturity the overall conclusion is that the group is still at Basic Level and vision, goals and objectives to be achieved with a global SAM still need to be approved. This project was the first enterprise initiative to promote SAM awareness in the group under the sponsorship of the Board of Directors and has allowed to understand the current SAM maturity, for the group and each of the six companies, define the desired SAM maturity and also determine all initiatives that must be implemented to achieve the target maturity within the next twelve months.

O modelo de maturidade de gestão de activos de software adoptado teve por base o Microsoft SAM Optimization Model (SOM) que contempla um total de dez competências, cada um com quatro níveis de maturidade distintos. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que apesar dos recentes esforços por parte do grupo para melhorar a maturidade nesta área o grupo ainda está no nível Básico e não existe uma visão e objectivos a atingir aprovados que permitam definir o caminho a seguir. Este projecto foi, no entanto, a primeira iniciativa transversal para promover o tema de forma corporativa, com o apoio da Comissão Executiva, e permitiu aferir o nível de maturidade actual, no grupo e em cada uma das seis empresas, bem como o nível de maturidade desejado para o grupo e o conjunto de iniciativas a implementar no período de doze meses de modo a atingir o estágio pretendido.2016-04-12T13:23:49Z2015-01-01T00:00:00Z20152015-06info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/11184TID:201147386engMartins, Luis Miguel Oliveira Paulo Rodriguesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:48:56Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/11184Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:23:56.876975Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
