All of these concerns tie into the ITAM process and implementing procedures now to address these challenges can save companies millions of dollars and prevent tech-related headaches.

IAITAM President and CEO Dr. Barbara Rembiesa said: “If you aren’t managing your IT assets, you’re not managing your business properly. During COVID-19, ITAM professionals worked diligently to ensure that businesses stayed open and that employees could w*************. Many companies without ITAM programs were unprepared for the shutdowns and are still struggling to get back on their feet. What will they do now if there is a second lockdown?”

Rembiesa added: “Every business and agency can benefit from the professional guidance that our experts offer within the IAITAM network. We are pleased to host ITAM Awareness Month and share daily resources to anyone interested in learning about ITAM as our way of giving back.”
