"In my initial review of the 12-volume set "IAITAM Best Practice Library" I was stunned by the sheer volume of information and level of detail throughout. I have been using the "IAITAM Best Practice Blueprint" as a resource since early 2007 with great success but the BPL is a quantum leap beyond that publication. Even though it will take me some time to absorb all that the 12-volume set has to offer, I believe that this has to be the definitive information source for everything that has to do with the management of IT assets. If there is anything available on the market that is better, I have yet to see it. I would consider the library a must-have resource for IT asset management professionals. Thanks," Thomas L.

IAITAM's Best Practice Library (IBPL) represents the collective knowledge and experiences of the entire IT Asset Management industry. These best practices were created from the best practical experiences of our industry's pioneers, leaders and professionals. There are twelve volumes addressing the twelve Key Process Areas (KPA's):
Acquisition Management
Asset Identification
Communication and Education
Compliance and Legislation
Disposal Management
Documentation Management
Financial Management
Vendor Management
Policy Management
Project Management
and
Program Management - the practitioner's guide to an ITAM Program
A Best Practice Library couldn't be called practical without including industry standards and regulations. The IBPL addresses standards such as ISO's 19770 and the UK-OGC's ITIL, and regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA.
Unlike other standards, the IAITAM Best Practice Library addresses not just the what, but more importantly, the why and the how. The why enables the IT Asset Manager to educate and justify the improvements to the organization's ITAM processes and the how provides the IT Asset Manager with a practical implementation guide that is easily modified to the organization's unique environment. Further supporting the how, each volume contains templates and workflows that can easily be customized to meet the organization's ITAM program.
