Principles of IT Asset Management (ITAM)

IT Asset Management (ITAM) is the set of business practices that join financial, contractual and inventory functions to support life cycle management and strategic decision making for the IT environment. Assets include all elements of software and hardware that are found in the business environment.

IT Asset Management (ITAM) is the first step on a Software Asset Management (SAM) journey.

Advanced ITAM is critical for effective licence management but many ITAM tools fail to provide the functionality to match installations to licence entitlements – therefore missing a key step in the licence management process. AssetStudio® can help you to store licence documents and link purchases to deployments in line with the licence requirements.

Amongst the notable features are:

·         Maximum visibility and control over your network IT inventory

·         Identify software usage, license entitlements, and purchasing data related to your IT assets.

·         Seamlessly track and manage your IT asset inventory from purchase
through retirement—and finally abandon those Excel spreadsheets!
