ITAM Crisis Management - Where to focus in uncertain times
Things are different right now – businesses are quickly adopting remote working policies for millions of people across the world and IT needs to shift and adapt at a rapid pace. The most important thing is to keep companies up and running, so processes and procedures aren’t being adhered to as closely as usual right now. This is a difficult time. As we look beyond the current situation, a primary focus for organisations will be cost management and reduction – and ITAM is well placed to help.
Re-negotiating contracts and reducing cloud spend will be key areas, as will audit defence. Knowing what areas may present the highest risk of non-compliance is vital, as is knowing how to rectify any issues, and how to manage contracts for the various software vendors.
To help you manage your changing environments, we’ve taken the most relevant sections of our LISA on-demand training courses and made them freely available for the duration of the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. Our aim is to help you identify potential risks, learn the skills to deal with them, and to successfully reduce costs going forward.
