Bridge Gaps Between Procurement and IT Teams with Advance Ship Notices (ASN)
Advance Ship Notices (ASNs) are more than just shipping updates—they are essential tools for creating clear communication between Procurement and IT teams. ASNs provide detailed information about shipments in transit, ensuring that IT assets are accurately tracked, received, and deployed without delays or confusion. This webinar will explore how ASNs can prevent costly mistakes, contribute to better asset management, and foster better collaboration between teams.
Key Takeaways:
1. What is an ASN and Why It’s Crucial: Understand the fundamentals of Advance Ship Notices and how they provide vital shipment details, including item descriptions, quantities, serial numbers, and expected delivery dates, enabling Procurement and IT teams to stay prepared.
2. Real-Time Coordination Between Procurement and IT: Learn how ASNs enable Procurement to track orders in real-time while keeping IT informed, allowing IT to prepare for and deploy incoming equipment efficiently. We’ll also discuss the importance of integrating ASNs with IT Asset Management (ITAM) tools and the benefits of having visibility into equipment shipped to remote users—eliminating the need to chase suppliers for updates.
3. Preventing Delays and Mistakes: Explore how ASNs can help both Procurement and IT teams catch issues early, such as incorrect orders or delayed shipments, reducing surprises and wasted time.
4. Enhanced Asset Tracking: Discover how ASN details help IT update asset management systems with key information like serial numbers and specifications before the assets arrive, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
AI in ITAD: Driving Efficiency, Profitability, and Growth
Step into the transformative world of IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) where artificial intelligence is the catalyst for efficiency, profitability, and sustainable growth. In this session, discover how AI-powered solutions are revolutionizing the ITAD process by:
1. Enhancing Data Security: Implement AI-driven data erasure protocols that ensure complete and reliable data sanitization, leaving no vulnerability behind.
2. Optimizing Asset Management: Use AI to predict asset lifecycles, improve maintenance schedules, and maximize the longevity and value of IT assets.
3. Boosting Cost Efficiency: Streamline operations with AI to reduce overheads, minimize human error, and allocate resources more effectively for greater cost savings.
4. Ensuring Compliance: Automate the monitoring of regulatory requirements with AI, keeping pace with evolving industry standards while reducing manual efforts.
5. Maximizing Asset Recovery: Leverage AI to provide precise asset valuations, optimizing recovery value and profitability through smarter, data-driven decision-making.
How ITAM Intersects with Cybersecurity
You Can’t Secure What Don’t Know You Have! How a documented process from procurement through disposal is a critical partner to Managing Risks related to Data Security.
I will discuss some of IAITAM’s 12 KPA’s (Key Process Areas) of a mature ITAM process and how hardware management impacts data breach, brand protection, value recovery and environmental risks. We will lay some groundwork for defining policies and procedures for managing asset inventory while in your possession as well as policies for managing your risks as assets move out of our control.
