IT Asset Management
IT Asset Management is a set of business practices that incorporates IT assets across the business units within the organisation. It joins the financial, inventory, contractual and risk management responsibilities to manage the overall life cycle of these assets including tactical and strategic decision making. ITAM delivers services to everyone in the organisation in order to facilitate business success.

IT Asset Management Certification Courses
ITSM Hub provides IT professionals and organisations with IT Asset Management (ITAM) courses online and at our major training centres.
These IT asset management courses are designed for people who need better control over hardware, software, mobile, or digital assets. They’re especially relevant for:
-
IT asset managers
-
IT managers and service managers
-
Finance and procurement professionals
-
Software licensing and compliance teams
-
Hardware asset managers
-
Service desk and operations professionals
-
Anyone involved in asset lifecycle, contracts, audits, or governance
Why ITAM Is Getting More Attention
As IT expenditures continue to grow while core IT functions become available as a service, and as regulatory and licensing pressures continue to increase, individuals involved in IT Asset Management need to become more specialised and more skilled.
That’s the reason many organisations are investing in IT asset management training. When asset data is incomplete, decisions get harder. Software goes unused. Compliance checks become stressful. Service desk teams waste time looking for information that should be easy to find.
A complete IT asset repository helps organisations make better calls around:
-
Purchasing and renewals
-
Licence use and audit readiness
-
Hardware refresh planning
-
Supplier and warranty management
-
Cost control
-
Risk and compliance
-
Asset retirement and disposal
Benefits of IT Asset Management for organisations
-
Reduce compliance risks and penalties associated with software audits.
-
Significant cost savings and better management of IT assets (the second largest expenditure of most organisations).
-
Reduce the risks inherent with the growth of “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD).
-
Properly dispose of retired IT assets in a time of increased regulatory requirements.
-
Establish the optimum level of maintenance agreements, software license agreements, and negotiate better pricing and terms.
