SAM Hubs

FlexNet Manager Suite 2022 R2 (On-Premises)

A SAM Hub is a process driven dashboard that aggregates information related to a specific topic (such as Optimization, Operation and Transparency) and provides the following:

• KPI trends over time
• high level explanations
• metric drill down capabilities.

In each SAM Hub, you can drill down through your data by using the available widgets and snapshots, and for a deep dive, you can run detailed reports. The layout of each SAM Hub will include a widget section followed by an explanation section.

Data is refreshed at every reconciliation (this is the current snapshot displayed in the SAM Hub) and saved once a day and kept for weekly snapshots up to 3 months. Beyond 3 months, data is kept as monthly snapshots over a 3 year period. Data is stored in a data warehouse database.

Attention: Widget data is populated by a data warehouse export task that gets triggered after the latest data reconcile. Depending on the volume of data, this can result in a delay for fresh data to populate the Estimated Savings vs. Classical Approach and Save By Taking Action: Top 5 widgets.

The SAM Optimization Hub is the first SAM Hub to be released for FlexNet Manager Suite. Further SAM Hubs are planned for release in later versions of FlexNet Manager Suite.

The SAM Optimization Hub provides analysis on achieved and potential license savings, aggregating the data from the various optimization reports explained in the SAM Optimization Hub Online Help.
