Online Masterclass – IT Asset Management

IT Asset Management has evolved from an administrative function to a key strategic initiative for the delivery of IT services.

• Provide critical business intelligence on IT Assets for stakeholders such as Configuration Management, Procurement, IT Architecture and many more.

• Build a picture of IT consumption to aid sustainability reporting.
