I have a good understanding of our finances and work closely with our division’s COO to construct the budget and formulate funding requests for critical projects, resources, and maintenance agreements with vendors.
In my current organization, I am very separate from the IT and Corporate finance. I have some basic understanding but am distanced from its efforts. There is no centralized ITAM Program. We are very decentralized for all HAM and SAM efforts. ITAD is limited and, from what I have seen, it is just giving our aged and retired equipment away.
I have not had an opportunity to be part of the finances. However, I intend to initiate engagements with Finance team given the wealth of knowledge i am gathering through ITAM training.
We don’t have much involvement with the organisations finances, the only time we interact with finance if when we are planning a disposal of hardware and finance have to look at the assets worth to determine whether or not they are worthless enough to destroy.
