IS Map
Description: The current state of the ITAM workflow, showing how software licenses are managed today.

Procurement:
Individual departments often purchase software independently.
Limited oversight from central ITAM or Procurement teams.
Software is occasionally purchased without considering compliance or cost efficiency.

Asset Tracking:
A mix of spreadsheets and outdated tools is used to track licenses.
Data is incomplete and inconsistently updated.
Shadow IT purchases are not included in tracking.

Compliance:
Compliance checks are reactive, typically occurring during audits.
High risk of non-compliance due to poor visibility into usage and licensing.

Disposal:
Minimal efforts to track end-of-life for software.
