As an ITAM consultant I have been helping organizations with IT Asset Management process improvement and HP Asset Manager implementation for more than 10 years. Within this capacity I have primarily served as an architect and PM making sure the implementation of technology improves, enhances and facilitates sound asset management business objectives and processes. Based on this experience, I wanted to share my perspective on some of the keys to the successful implementation of ITAM software along with some of the common pitfalls. This is not an exhaustive list, but understanding and applying these concepts will help ensure your ITAM implementation is successful.
