No one said ITAM was easy and that driving change is without organizational challenges.

The Inter-Dependency of ITAM & Data Management
This article underscores the importance of lifecycle management policies, processes, and compliance in ensuring data security and enabling digital transformation. Proper IT asset lifecycle management reduces IT operation costs and enhances data security, thereby optimizing technology investments and supporting competitive advantage.
Enhancing Reverse Logistics and ITAD Maturity for Greater Security and Efficiency
The recent ACE and CITAM courses highlighted the urgent need to improve organizations’ reverse logistics and ITAD processes, as current practices are often inefficient and decentralized.
How valuable is the data residing on & through your IT assets and how well do you protect it?
Data breaches happen every day. So do you have a cybersecurity insurance policy in place? The real question is, when was the last time you knew your data was lost or stolen … or do you even know?
The Regulatory Roadmap
Legislation is an evolutionary process that should come as no surprise. Understanding when & why a CITAM leads the Education & Communication Core KPA with lobbyists, lawyers, the Executive Management Team is more valuable than insurance.
Compliancy is the Minimum
You can’t manage what you can’t report on. How a CITAM measures the effectiveness of policies, processes, and procedures is a direct reflection on the relative maturity of the organization. From defining compliance during negotiations to auditing software utilization and “beyond the grave” with respect to documentation of retired data-bearing IT assets, the ability to confidently report on the accuracy of your central IT asset repository is a basic requirement and expectation of the Board of Directors, Executive Team, and distributed cost center managers.
