Introduction
Course overview
Organisations often do not know exactly what hardware and software they own, where it is or whether licences are compliant. Poor IT asset management leads to wasted spend, security gaps and audit penalties.
This Aractech course covers IT asset management processes, asset discovery and inventory, configuration management databases, hardware life cycle, software licence models, compliance and vendor audits, optimisation and governance. Participants build an asset management plan.
The course suits IT, procurement and finance professionals.
