See below for more detail of how joining the SIRB can help you:

End Users / SAM Practitioners

As a SAM practitioner or individual involved with software management in an end user organisation, you can subscribe to regular news updates and best practice advice free of charge.

You’ll receive a monthly digest on all that’s new in software management in the UK, together with best practice articles from SIRB partners and advanced notice of upcoming SIRB events you might be interested in attending.

You’ll also get access to our SIRB SAM Practitioners’ forum, where you can share experiences, ask questions and swap advice with peers from across the SAM and software management communities.

SAM Consultants / Channel Organisations

For SAM consultants, the SIRB offers the opportunity become part of the leading software management ‘think tank’ in the UK, helping to promote best practices, educate end users on the complexities of software management and providing high quality research into software management practices and attitudes.

Becoming an SIRB partner opens up a variety of research and marketing opportunities, including presenting and hosting SIRB events, contributing to research projects, using the SIRB website to promote your best practice advice.

Software / Tools Vendors

For Software and Tools vendors, joining the SIRB makes it possible to partner with like-minded organisations who share a passion for increasing awareness, commitment and competency among end user organisations.

Vendor partners will have the opportunity to present and exhibit at SIRB events, contribute to PR materials and press interviews, help direct research efforts and take advantage of other SIRB activities to evangelise software management best practices.
