IT asset management is a governance function
Cloud, Internet of Things, SaaS, Paas, Iaas – IT has always been non-stop jargon – but the reality behind today’s jargon is a world of increasing technological and organisational complexity.
In the new world of hyper-virtualisation and hyper-connectivity, managing assets is no longer a simple matter of counting physical machines once a year, doing a stock take of software boxes in the store cupboard and making sure there is a match.
These days IT Asset Management is turning into a governance function, kissing-cousin to Information Security and IT Financial Management, and focused on managing ITAM related risks. Knowing how your IT Services are provided – how they are purchased, where are they hosted, how are they accessed, who is using them – is key to ensuring you get the most value from your IT assets while minimising the risk of software non-compliance, unused licenses and subscriptions and the reputational and financial impact of information security breaches through lost or stolen equipment.
So contact us today to discover how we can help you get the most from your IT Assets.
