SIIA and a coalition of industry groups urge Congress to pass the Strengthening Agency Management and Oversight of Software Assets (SAMOSA) Act, a bipartisan bill that will eliminate wasteful federal IT spending and improve software management across government agencies. With the federal government spending over $100 billion annually on IT and cybersecurity, inefficient software license tracking has led to unnecessary costs and missed savings opportunities. The SAMOSA Act will require agencies to assess current software management practices, address restrictive licensing terms, and adopt enterprise agreements to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
By increasing transparency and accountability, this legislation will modernize government operations, boost security, and ensure taxpayer dollars are spent more effectively. Read the full letter below to learn more about why SIIA supports this critical reform.
