Frequently asked questions
An IT asset is hardware or software within an information technology environment. These components are used for the storage, management, control, display and transmission of data, among others.
IT asset management (ITAM) software is a program designed to record and track the lifecycle of all IT assets in an organization.
IT asset management solutions enable the monitoring, tracking and management of who and what is in your IT infrastructure. This allows you to understand what components are accessible to whom and adjust manager control wherever necessary.
An ITAM system can also grasp end-of-life and end-of-service intrusion points of your assets, which can help you keep your IT estate up-to-date and ready to combat any issues.
While hardware and software assets operate in different areas and are used in distinct processes, ITAM should include both HAM and SAM for a full view of your IT estate.
HAM is attached to SAM by way of software licenses, license reclamation, etc. Understanding the connection between the two service features can help you more efficiently manage your asset lifecycle and maximize your technology investments.
While similar, ITAM and configuration management database (CMDB) differ in purpose and goals.
ITAM intends to provide an overview of IT assets, particularly concerning their lifecycle, to minimize security risks, reduce costs, maximize the business value of technology and make IT-related decisions easier.
A CMDB, on the other hand, is a centralized repository (like a filing system) used to store all of the data of an IT environment. It allows organizations to monitor, track and manage all IT assets in one place.
ITAM is a process that accounts for the planning, acquisition, utilization, maintenance and disposal of IT assets.
IT service management (ITSM), on the other hand, is an approach for designing, delivering and managing how an organization uses its IT assets.
ITAM’s goal is to optimize and minimize costs by managing hardware and software assets. Meanwhile, ITSM is meant to ensure the delivery of IT services to customers.
Hybrid ITAM reaches the intersection of ITAM and financial operations (FinOps). This intersection has a blind spot in the management of software on cloud products such as AWS, and Microsoft Azure. To address this blind spot ITAM and FinOps teams need to work together to manage the cloud software.
