Course Overview
The 55071-A Microsoft Software Asset Manager course by Microsoft is designed for IT professionals responsible for managing software licenses and ensuring compliance within enterprise environments. This instructor-led training targets roles such as Software Asset Manager, License Compliance Analyst, and IT Asset Coordinator, equipping them with critical skills in Microsoft licensing frameworks. As organizations increasingly prioritize software compliance to avoid costly audits, demand for skilled asset managers continues to rise, with 85% of large enterprises now maintaining dedicated Software Asset Management (SAM) programs. Participants gain a deep understanding of licensing metrics for both client and server software, learning to balance deployments while adhering to Microsoft’s licensing terms.
Key technologies covered in the 55071-A Microsoft Software Asset Manager curriculum include the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit, Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC), System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), and Microsoft Compliance Manager. Through hands-on labs conducted in real-world IT environments, students configure software inventory systems, retrieve installation data using MAP Toolkit, and reconcile technical deployments with license entitlements in VLSC. A core project involves conducting a full compliance audit simulation, where learners identify unauthorized software, generate reconciliation reports, and recommend remediation strategies, ensuring they gain practical, job-ready experience.
While the 55071-A Microsoft Software Asset Manager course does not lead to a standalone Microsoft certification, it prepares professionals for industry-recognized credentials such as IAITAM’s Certified Software Asset Manager (CSAM). Graduates can expect competitive compensation, with Software Asset Management roles averaging $81,021 annually in the United States, rising to over $146,000 for experts.
