IT asset management (ITAM) is arguably more important to organizations than ever before. Along with IT monitoring and IT governance, it forms the priority tripod for CIOs in 2021. Some define it as a set of business practices that combine financial, inventory, and contractual functions to optimize spend and support lifecycle management and strategic decision-making in the IT environment. The ITAM process typically involves collecting an up-to-date and detailed inventory of an organization’s hardware, software, and network assets, and then using that information to make informed business decisions about IT-related purchases and redeployment. And increasingly, to help them assess threats, vulnerabilities, and incidents highlighted by monitoring.
