< > >< > >< > >< > >You determine the current maturity level of the customer’s SAM program is Rationalized.
Review the underlined text. If it makes the statement correct, select “No change is needed.” If the statement is incorrect, select the answer choice that makes the statement correct.

1. A. No change is needed
2. B. Basic
3. C. Standardized
4. D. Dynamic

Correct Answer: C
The Optimization model assigns organizations to four levels of maturity:
1. ‘Basic SAM’ – Management of software is ad-hoc and inconsistent
2. ‘Standardised SAM’ – We track assets but probably don’t make best use of the data we collect
3. ‘Rationalized SAM’ – We are actively managing assets throughout their lifecycle
4. ‘Dynamic SAM’ – We are leveraging SAM for competitive advantage. Or in more simple terms you might summarize the levels as:
We’re not doing SAM We’ve started doing SAM We’re doing it properly
We’re reaping the full benefits References:
