What is Asset Management in IT?

 IT asset management (ITAM)



An IT asset is classified as any company-owned information, system or hardware that is used in the course of business activities. The IT asset management process typically involves gathering a 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 redistribution.

IT asset management (information technology asset management, or ITAM) is a set of business practices that combines financial, inventory and contractual functions to optimize spending and support lifecycle management and strategic decision-making within the IT environment. ITAM is often a subset of the IT service management (ITSM) process.

ITAM applications are available to organizations to assist in the ITAM process. These applications 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 applications integrate ITAM with the service desk, keeping all the user and access information together with the incidents and requests.

Being Layed Off and Keeping Positive.

Is it possible to remain positive when being made redundant? Today is my last day at AT&T/DXC after 19 years and I'm about to find out. 

 


Being positive in a difficult situation is hard but it's going to give you better results than perpetuating bad feelings. 

Chronic stress causes you to be in a constant state of heightened awareness, which can create havoc in your body. You may start to experience physical symptoms such as irritability, fatigue, headaches, and insomnia. So take care of yourself even if you may not feel like it. 

Try to do more things that give you happiness. Find your comfort where you can. And please do not feel guilty about taking time for yourself.



 

Posts to my blogs may be a little sporadic for a while as I sort myself out :-)

Have a great day :-)
