The Power of Successful IT Asset Management
Successful IT Asset Management significantly benefits IT cost savings, optimised asset utilisation, improved security, and increased end-user productivity. However, implementing a successful ITAM strategy can be daunting for several reasons.
The challenges to implementing a successful ITAM strategy
Complexity
Many assets and types must be managed, including hardware, software, licenses and warranties.
Data accuracy
The difficulty in maintaining up-to-date data about each asset.
Data security
Devices can be vulnerable to cyber threats such as malware, viruses, and hacking attempts. IT departments need to implement security measures and technology to protect devices and the organisation’s data. Software is one of the key assets managed by ITAM and ensuring that software is up-to-date with the latest security patches is an important aspect of ITAM.
Compliance
The need to review, maintain and audit licensing agreements, regulations and security policies.
Cultural barriers
Cooperating and collaborating across different departments and teams, including resistance to process change and lack of communication.
Cost
This can significantly increase due to the staffing costs required to maintain an ITAM program and the ITAM technology to manage the processes efficiently.
