This article highlights the critical role IT infrastructure plays in driving innovation and growth, stressing that outdated systems can hinder progress. Ultimately, success in digital transformation relies on clear organizational goals, modernized IT systems, and a proactive approach to managing data and assets.
Implementing IAITAM’s 12 KPAs
Is your organization mired in uncertainty, lack of cooperation and understanding or are you driving cost and risks out of your distributed computing model and creating value for your end-users and business? Data security in a circular economy and sustainability initiatives can only be achieved by “starting with the end in mind”. Find out how you and your organization fare in terms of relative organizational maturity through the implementation of IAITAM’s 12 Key Process Areas (KPAs). No one said ITAM was easy and that driving change is without organizational challenges. Let’s discuss the complexities of driving digital transformation in your unique organizational culture in anticipation of such disruptive technologies as AI, IoT, ML, etc. through the deployment of IAITAM’s 12 KPAs. By participating in this month’s IMUG, you’ll learn if your organization will earn gold, silver, or bronze in this Olympic style survey and/or what it will take for you to make it to the 2028 IAITAM Olympics!
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.
