[Dan Cassidy]

Strengths: strong team structure
Weakness: short-staffed and spread too thin
Opportunity: create a legitimate ITAM structure
Weakness: buy-in from the rest of organization to invest into ITAM

[David Saliem]

Strengths—Our asset tagging and inventory are very accurate. We have a very strong system in place that the company is all on board with.
Opportunities – The Potential for more advanced software to keep track of inventory and eliminate old procedures
Weaknesses—We do not have proper standards for specific makes/models of hardware accessories. This allows users to custom-order some expensive, unnecessary items at times.
Threats—There is no cost-charge system for users who lose items. Most users are unaware that there is no penalty for lost/damaged assets, so we are okay with that, but this is a significant looming threat.
