What we do

Three SAM disciplines. One delivery standard.

Software asset management engagements live or die on coordination.

The licensing detail matters — but so does the cadence of evidence, the rhythm of stakeholder communication, and the discipline that turns a complex engagement into a managed outcome.

That's the role we play.

How we engage

Three engagement models. One delivery standard.

Every SAM engagement has its own shape. Some need leadership taken end-to-end; others need senior PM capability slotting into an existing team. We work in whichever model fits — never as an off-the-shelf product.

Programme Leadership

We take the lead on the engagement end-to-end — owning the plan, the stakeholder map, the delivery cadence, and accountability for outcomes. Suited to engagements where your team needs the load taken off entirely.

02 — EMBEDDED

Embedded PM

We sit inside your team for the duration — your structure, your governance, our discipline. The right fit when domain leadership stays in-house and you need senior PM capacity to make delivery happen.

03 — PARTNERED

Partner Delivery

We deliver project management inside another consultancy's engagement. SAM specialists bring the domain expertise; we bring the PM craft that makes the engagement land. The most established way we work today.

Why Starstrike

Senior throughout. Disciplined by default. Independent by design.

The reason SAM consultancies bring us in — and the reason direct clients keep us — is consistent: senior people, doing senior work, with the discipline to make complex licensing and audit engagements land.

— 01 —

Senior throughout

Every engagement is led by senior practitioners — no bait-and-switch, no quiet hand-off to juniors after the contract is signed. The seniority your stakeholders see is the seniority that does the work.

Project management as a craft

PM isn't a coordination role we fall into between technical tasks. It's the discipline we've built our practice around — qualifications, methodologies, and years of delivery in the SAM and licensing space.

— 03 —

Independent of vendors and tooling

No reseller agreements, no software partnerships, no commission structures. The advice you receive is shaped by your situation alone.

— 04 —

Trusted where reputations matter

The UK's leading SAM consultancies trust Starstrike with their client engagements. In a small, reputation-driven market, that's the credibility signal that counts.

Beyond SAM

For long-standing clients and through our network, we also support broader IT engagements — transformation, software development, programme leadership. By referral or by relationship.

In partners' words
Starstrike Project Management has been instrumental over the past two years — not just in delivering projects, but in elevating how we deliver. Their input has helped sharpen our processes and improve the quality of our collateral. They bring both insight and structure, making them a valuable extension of our team.
