Information Technology Enterprise Asset Management
ITEAM differs from EAM only in its focus on IT assets. This focus is important for a number of key reasons:
- Organizational dependence on these assets
- High cost, particularly of datacenter assets
- Rapid pace of change/turn-over for assets
ITEAM focuses on both hardware and software asset management, ensuring that the organization has the ability to manage these assets throughout their life. In the case of software, there is the added component of ensuring license compliance.
See the International Association of IT Asset Managers (IAITAM) for more details.
