[James Lyons]

The acquisition manager is the gatekeeper for policies standards and lifecycle. They attempt to prevent lost, incompatible documentation, they stand over the purchasing of licenses, prevent underutilization of assets by ensuring proper criteria are used to measure need and effectiveness. They also work to make strategic choices and redeploy already purchased licenses. They should reduce risk by adhering to standards and ensuring compliance.
