Certified Software Asset Manager - CSAM
Software Asset Management (SAM) is the set of business practices that support the use of software within a firm and frequently involves a new look at how and why software traverses the organization. SAM is now considered a mandate by organizations, and they look to their Software Asset Managers as major contributors to organizational goals such as reducing risk, increasing accountability, uncovering savings and gaining control of the organization’s electronic computerized processes. To succeed, Software Asset Managers must learn not only what constitutes the business practices of SAM, but must learn how to implement these business practices in a way that is appropriate for their organization.

There are so many ways that Hardware Asset Management can benefit the organization. In today’s economy and the reduction of IT budgets, finding those savings are more important then ever. Organizations that had never heard of asset management are now educating their staffs and implementing the business practices in order to maximize every dollar spent. The best measure of success for the Hardware Asset Manager is capturing these savings and showing the percentage of total IT hardware budget that was freed up to fund other projects in the corporation.

Acquisition Management Advanced Training Course
Acquisition Management is the gatekeeper for the application of all IT asset management strategies determined by your organization, including policies, standards and life-cycle processes. Effective IT acquisition process empowers the rest of your IT asset program by applying process, determining pathways for exceptions and generating the initial records for the IT assets before acquisition is even complete.

Asset Identification Advanced Training Course
Asset Identification encompasses the activities that uniquely identify and validate the physical presence of IT assets. It is a key enabler of many related activities in the Software Life-cycle, Hardware Life-cycle, IT Acquisition and Documentation Management Process Areas. Unique physical identification tags on the outside of the IT asset associate that label with a particular IT asset, which may not have meaning outside of the organization.

Communication & Education Advanced Training Course
Communication & Education Management will require many people directly supporting the program and the entire organization when it comes to awareness and understanding of policy. Proactive change management requires planning and communicating for change, followed by the necessary training to ensure that the adoption of these new policies are successful and that employees truly understand how to use the new processes. Departments within the organization in the past have been able to operate rather autonomously, each dependent on the other for the success of the overall business strategy but not dependent on one another for the function of the individual department. Information Technology has changed this business model forever. The good news is that this is possible with a strategic plan for communication and education.

 |
Compliance and Legislation Advanced Training Course
Compliance and Legislation Management is the focal point for risk avoidance and audit response. As part of this PA, the organization prepares to respond, responds to compliance events, performs periodic internal asset discoveries and ultimately settles non-compliance matters.

Disposal Management Advanced Training Course
Disposal Management is the procedure for properly removing assets from your environment. A mature disposal process will allow your enterprise to avoid costly storage of unused assets, mitigate risk associated with disposal, reallocation of software, security of information maintained before the disposal process, while increasing return on investment.

Documentation Management Advanced Training Course
Document Management encompasses management capability for all IT asset-related documents throughout most of their life-cycle, from request and acquisition onward. This discipline includes management of contracts, proof of purchases, and all software licenses including certificates of authenticity (“COAs”).

Financial Management Advanced Training Course
Financial Management is a key part of not only your asset management program but affects departments across your corporate enterprise. Financial IT Asset Management is the backbone to savings within your IT Asset Management program from budgeting to invoice reconciliation. Financial IT Asset Management includes many operationally recurring functions: budgeting, fixed asset reconciliation, chargeback, invoice reconciliation, forecasting, financial audit preparation, and billing. In addition to these, the Financial IT Asset Management discipline must support a strategic view of IT spending.

Policy Management Advanced Training Course
Policy Management is a critical success factor for any IT asset management program. Policies need to be clearly defined, understandable and enforced. As a best practice, IAITAM has identified more than thirty policy areas that relate directly to IT asset management and must be defined for any organization. Once defined, the policies must be accessible and presented in a way that employees can readily understand what is required and why it is beneficial for the organization.

 |
Project Management Advanced Training Course
Project Management can be defined as an organized and managed set of activities that results in the achievement of a unique and well-defined end-result or work product or deliverable. Resources are mobilized and deployed to perform the activities in a controlled fashion. A project, implicitly and by definition, has a start and an end. Therefore, a project differs from recurring operational activities that may be performed many times repeatedly in a typical corporate environment. The Project Management process area defines those characteristics of a project team that are essential to successfully conducting the initiatives that are needed to meet the goals of the ITAM.

Vendor Management Advanced Training Course
Vendor Management defines attributes of maturity in how well you are communicating with, leveraging and negotiating with your vendors. Structural strategies for success include assigning vendor managers internally, following a documented communication protocol and building a library of interactions.
