Without the Acquisition Manager and his “gatekeeping” powers, IT management ( cradle phase) would be unmanageable and led to uncontrolled costs.
The Acquisition Manager is responsible for acquiring IT goods and services for an organization. This individual acts as the gatekeeper for all IT acquisitions. The Acquisition Manager ensures that the asset meets the needs, requirements, and standards of the organization as well as those of the stakeholder. The Acquisition Manager is responsible for obtaining proper justification for products prior to purchase.
Sourcing and redeployment opportunities available for the requested asset are also the responsibility of the Acquisition Manager.
