In this insightful session, Jeff Datkuliak from ARCOA will explore the critical intersection of security, compliance, and sustainability in IT asset management. As Data Security and Compliance concerns continue to escalate, it’s essential to implement strategies that protect data, meet compliance standards, and promote responsible IT asset disposition.
This brief session will be a continuation of our workflow automation for SAM series and demonstrate how to implement workflows for software requests and software harvesting. Our examples will be based on Belarc’s BelPower and Power Automate, but the same principles are applicable to other SAM and workflow automation systems.
An effective IT Asset Management (ITAM) program depends on seamless logistics to track, transport, and manage assets throughout their lifecycle. This session will explore best practices for optimizing logistics, including inventory accuracy, chain of custody, secure transportation, and end-of-life asset disposition. Attendees will learn how to streamline workflows, mitigate risks, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
ITAM – Let’s clarify our role by providing the “why” we are important in every organization:
– Governance – “Inspecting what we are Expecting”
– Finance – “Right-sizing spend”
– Inventory – “Validating Chain of Custody”
The goal of this session is to provide practitioners the ability to clearly provide “line of sight” to the role and responsibilities of this position in the organization.
I will provide examples of how you can show value to your organization based on the above lenses.
The technology world continues to change and ITAM is changing with it. SAM and HAM teams don’t just need to focus on Enterprise on-prem software and hardware. Today ITAM professionals need clear visibility into their entire IT estate to identify areas of need and to confidently act. During this session we will discuss the need to focus on the basics. The ITAM professional still needs to focus on Data Quality to make sure the company is making decisions based on sound data. This is important for your career and your company.
Global economic uncertainties require companies to change strategies and tactics to merely stay afloat. During economic downturns, software & SaaS providers increase audit activity to generate revenue. Whether it’s official audits with notifications and contractual obligations or back door interrogations of IT professionals, tech companies of all sizes are coming for your dollars. It’s imperative you understand how these large organizations use these tactics to circumvent your SAM protections to protect yourselves from their incursions.
