IT Asset Management is a Program Without End

The ITAM program is designed to maximize the value of your IT investment while minimizing its risk. IT Asset Managers achieve this by representing the interests of all parties who have a stake in IT’s performance – including the executive team. To represent your interests, you must enable ITAM to define the program’s requirements. These are the requirements of all departments that feed the ITAM program with data used to create accurate, complete, and timely information needed to run the business successfully.
