Online Masterclass – ITAM and Service Configuration Management

IT Asset Management and Service Configuration Management are two key related and underpinning practices for all organisations. Using the data controlled by both Asset and Configuration Management, organisations can ensure their ability to maintain control as well as providing appropriate business intelligence to support current and future value creation.

A key part of IT Asset Management involves the understanding of your software licence position to assure your organisation’s compliance both financially and legally.

Good IT Asset and Service Configuration Management will help you to:

• Ensure the ownership, management and control of the organisation’s assets
• Realise the full value of those assets
• Provide a basis for Service Reporting based on business value
• Understand the relationships between configurations within a value stream
• Ensure that appropriate levels of licensing and software control are in place

Target Audience

This event is aimed at the Beginner/Intermediate level.  Facilitated by Service Advisory Consultants from CGI who are IT Asset and Service Configuration Management experts, this event is designed for ITSM professionals either looking to get started with formal Asset and Configuration Management and Software Asset Management or looking to improve their existing efforts.
