IT Asset Management
ITAM or Information Technology Asset Management is a set of business practices that combines financial, inventory and contractual functions within the IT environment. ITAM is a subset of the IT Service Management (ITSM) processes.
The IT Asset Management process involves capturing details of IT inventory including hardware, software & network assets and then using the information in the decision making process of IT-related purchases, redistribution & management of IT Lifecycle.
ITAM solutions assist organizations in the ITAM process. These solutions can detect the hardware, software and network assets across an organization and then capture, record and make the data available as needed. Some of these solutions integrate ITAM with the Service Desk, keeping all the user and access information together with the incidents and requests.
