SM Forum: IT Asset Management Trends and Directions

13 February, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Free

IT Asset Management (ITAM) has evolved to become a core element within the service management portfolio of best practice. Though often neglected or misunderstood by senior management, ITAM underpins the delivery of IT services, focusing on everything from hardware procurement to licensing and software management, and with a big impact on risk and change management within the enterprise.

This SM Forum offers a very practical view of ITAM, with two case studies that demonstrate the essentials of asset management at different levels of maturity. The event also considers the current state of ITAM within the broader service management environment, and looks at the latest developments in ITAM tooling.

Speakers include:

IT asset management – current trends and directions  Stuart Dicken, ITAM Lead for EMEA, Accenture

IT asset management is constantly evolving, and organisations are facing new challenges and priorities as they navigate a rapidly shifting landscape. In this session we’ll explore the current trends shaping ITAM, from the move towards results-driven services over tools to the continued consolidation of ITAM businesses. We’ll also touch on what organisations should consider when reviewing their asset management strategies to stay ahead and deliver real value.

Traditional SAM to SAM as a Service – a journey of transformation  Julia Veall, Asset Management Senior Manager, Vodafone

Vodafone have developed a mature ITAM service internally, which is recognised in the community as one of the programmes leading the way. Drawing on many years’ experience in asset management, Julia shares some top tips and best practice about taking ITAM to the next level.

Building asset management from the ground up  Tracey Gallagher, IT Asset Manager, British Geological Survey

In this session, Tracey describes the challenge of taking on responsibility for ITAM – just before lockdown – in an organisation with relatively basic asset management practices. Four years on, with the right systems in place, she is managing 370 licences (academic, commercial and open source) to the value of £1.25m as well as the hardware for 650 members of staff. She describes the lessons learned along the way.

Accelerate your digital transformation by leveraging ITAM Ross Surplice, Christos Frangou and Matt Bramley, Freshworks

In this session, we offer five proven strategies to revolutionise IT service operations with ITAM, Device42, and a unified CMDB. Featuring real-world cases and actionable insights, Freshworks will share an industry snapshot that will equip you with the tools to tackle challenges and achieve measurable results in 2025.
