What we do

Four disciplines. One specialist team.

From traditional licensing through SaaS, cloud and AI — Proteam is the SAM partner for the full enterprise software estate. IT Asset Management, Cloud FinOps, Platform Strategy & Advisory, and AI Transformation Services. Engage one practice. Engage all fifteen. The discipline is the same.

IT Asset Management. 20 years of heritage.

SAM Maturity Assessment

A strategic transformation engagement — not a one-off scorecard. We assess your SAM estate across five operating dimensions, benchmark against your industry, then run the transformation that moves you up the maturity curve over a 12–18 month horizon.

SAM Baselining & Cost Optimization

Cut annual software spend by 15–20% beyond what your team has already negotiated. We baseline your estate vendor by vendor, reconcile entitlements against deployment, optimise licence cost continuously, and run ongoing managed services that keep the estate continuously compliant and continuously optimising.

Audit Defense & Negotiation Support

When a software vendor sends an audit notice, the clock starts ticking. We've defended thousands of audits — IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, and more — neutralising risk, challenging methodology, and negotiating directly with auditors so your team can keep running the business.

Where does your hardware asset management practice sit today — and where should it be in 18 months? We assess people, process, and tooling across the full hardware lifecycle, benchmark against industry peers, and design a modernisation roadmap that integrates HAM with your wider ITAM and procurement functions.

Platform Strategy & Advisory

Strategic enablement before tool deployment. We assess existing platforms — ServiceNow, Snow, Flexera, Xensam, USU, Zylo — evaluate estate complexity, and define the right architecture for long-term SAM operations. Advisory-first, platform-neutral, governance-led.

AI Transformation Services. From spend to value.
— 11

AI Spend Management

Enterprise AI spend has gone from rounding error to board-level line item in 24 months. We bring SAM discipline to the new generation of vendors — forensic estate discovery, contract risk review, dormant-licence harvesting, consumption optimisation, vendor consolidation, and the governance framework to keep it controlled.

AI Adoption & Value Delivery

Buying AI is the easy part. Turning it into measurable productivity gain is a change-management problem disguised as a technology rollout. We assess adoption, prioritise use cases, design the value measurement framework, embed change management, and stand up the governance that makes the renewal conversation defensible.

Usage Analytics & Chargeback

Knowing you spend £2M on AI is the start. Knowing which department spent it, on what, and whether it generated value — that's the conversation that changes behaviour. We build the attribution pipeline, chargeback model, and reporting layer that connects AI consumption to cost centres.

AI Vendor Negotiation

Emerging AI contract models are structurally complex — novel pricing constructs, untested clause frameworks, and commercial mechanics most procurement teams haven't seen before. We provide the specialist advisory layer your team needs to engage with confidence and secure defensible commercial terms.

AI Governance Advisory

Regulators are moving faster than most enterprise AI programmes. EU AI Act obligations, data sovereignty constraints, and IP exposure from generative models demand structured governance — before your next audit, not after. We build the frameworks that let you deploy AI with confidence.

How we engage

A four-step engagement model. No surprises.

Whether you hire us for one audit defence or sign a multi-year managed services contract, the engagement model stays consistent.

1

Discover

Free no-obligation consultation. We understand your environment, vendor exposure, current SAM maturity, and the specific outcomes you're aiming for.

2

Assess

Deep-dive analysis of contracts, entitlements, deployment data, and consumption reports. We surface the risks and opportunities that matter most.

3

Execute

We do the work — whether that's audit defence negotiation, contract restructuring, optimisation roadmap delivery, or ongoing managed services.

4

Sustain

We hand over (or stay engaged for) the ongoing operating model that keeps savings recurring and risk continuously managed.

Get started

Not sure which service you actually need?

Most clients aren't, the first time we speak. The free consultation is designed to figure that out — together. We'll ask about your vendors, your contract cycles, and your audit history. Then we'll tell you honestly what we'd do in your shoes.
