We have an established ITAD vendor and have created a very mature process and governance model. We are hoping to present (in 2025) with our ITAD partner.
Not certain I completely understand the question. We are careful not to use the word “savings” if ultimately what we’re doing is avoiding future cost. In this case, these are not hard dollars. We publish monthly and annual metrics on cost avoidance that more than double the cost of my own team.
We have established a 15-18% average savings per title where we have created rules to reclaim for non-use. Officially, we publish a 10% goal and regularly achieve nearly 20%.
Our mission (one single ITAM mission) is written in the Executive Summary of our published Hardware and Software standards.
I agree, the three current Core KPAs are foundational and should be the first established for a truly successful program.
By nature, I’m a confrontational person and very comfortable with networking. I like to share my ideas and ask others to share their ideas with me. Joining IAITAM has played a big part in this journey. Similarly, I have taken steps to join or learn other focus areas such as Tanium groups, FinOps, etc. I will continue to seek discussion and collaboration.
In many KPAs we are doing well such as Asset Identification, Disposal, Financial, and Vendor Management.
Some KPAs are present but lack overall governance such as Communication/Education, Compliance, Documentation, Policy, and Project Management.
Finally, there are KPAs that are entirely missing such as Acquisition, Legislation and Program Management.
I am very proud of the program my team has built within my company and I have, or a team member has, attended ACE for the last three years. We are working very hard to integrate KPAs into our best practices and have discussed ideas for presentations at future conferences. I have also reached out to IAITAM leadership on future collaboration opportunity.
While I am happy with our current standards we’ve build in our organization, I find they are lacking a full 360 view into the actual governance of a program. My team has already been in discussion on improvements to both standards to parallel the high standards laid out in IAITAM documentation.
I plan to attain most, if not all, of the available certifications. I manage our full IT asset space, both hardware and software. I recently attained CHAMP and will be taking the CAMP exam today. After I would like to pursue CSAM and CITAD.
My team is currently reviewing the KPAs and integrating into our hardware and software standards. Currently, we feel these are sufficient and comprehensive and have no additional suggestions.
We are a financial institution and audited regularly. Specifically our Asset/CMDB space is reviewed frequently by external/federal organizations as well as internal. In the vast majority of cases, our internal audit teams are more comprehensive and less nice. We tend to not do well in-house which helps us do extremely well external.
