An Effective License Position (ELP) is an industry standard approach to assessing compliance with software agreements and licenses. SAM for Snow Atlas (Snow) provides a very good view of compliance, but will not capture absolutely everything and present it in the compliance summary within the tool. No SAM tool is capable of this as there is too much 'grey' in licensing, and all customers use cases and scenarios are different.

The ELP process uses a combination of the trustworthy inventory data in Snow and business analysis by a skilled SAM and Licensing specialist to forensically build a complete picture of your organisations compliance position for a select software vendor, accounting for all those 'grey' areas.
