The complexity, dispersion, acquisition methods, risk of improper management and complex finances make it easy for organisations to sub optimise their return on investment (ROI) from their Information Technology. Developing an organisational core competency in IT Asset Management (ITAM) is critical to avoid this.
Fundamentally, ITAM is a bridge from the financial world to the operational world. It makes sure that the investments in technology not only brings value to the organisation but also makes sense against the operation supported by Information Technology.
