SWOT-We don’t have a high rate of turn over so information is available, we have a new electronic tool to find IT equipment we don’t know about, 95% of all the equipment bought is standard approved items and we are using that electronic tool to help us in audit situations.

O: Our owner can demand us to implement ITAM
T: Our owner can cut back on our financial room

[Matthew Lepree]

Strength: Quality people in our organization laying the foundation for the future of the program.
Weakness: Our inventory information needs to be validated and cleaned up, as a lot of old information was imported into our system when we switched tools.
Opportunities: As we continue to communicate our standards to our customers, hopefully we can increase productivity, accuracy and response times.
Threat: There is always the threat of someone using their p-card to purchase a non-standard, unapproved item and plugging it into our system. This is why we are trying to communicate as best we can what our standards are and why.
