Create a SWOT analysis of your current or anticipated ITAM program.

[Leslie June]

Strengths – Experience, establishing trust, cross-functional team leadership
Weaknesses – Day to day run operations – I have been a consultant for decades, never a practitioner
Opportunities – CDW is considering offering ITAM as a Service – getting involved with that could give me practitioner experience to round out my knowledge for consulting purposes
Threats – My contract renewal depends on CDW continuing to sign new business

[Alexis Thomason]

S: Procurement, Team Relationships
W: Asset Management once devices leave our building – we struggle to keep a hand on assets once they’re in the co-workers’ hands.
O: Better use of software and technology.
T: C-Level Support.

Strengths: Items are tagged when they come in.
Weakness: Staff streached too thin and thus records are not kept in a time fashion or not at all.
Opportunities: We are reseting our inventory system and now is the time to get it right.
