scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 19770 establishes a baseline for an integrated set of processes for Software Asset Management (SAM). This part of ISO/IEC 19770 applies to SAM processes and can be implemented by organizations to achieve immediate benefits. ISO/IEC 19770-2 provides a specification for SAM data, which requires implementation by software manufacturers (external and internal) and by tool developers for its full benefits to be achieved. It is intended that this part of ISO/IEC 19770 be an implementation standard for organizations. Future editions may provide an assessment framework that is aligned to the requirements in ISO/IEC15504-2. This part of ISO/IEC 19770 applies to all organizations of any size or sector. This part of ISO/IEC 19770 can only be applied to a legal entity, or to parts of a single legal entity.
