Welcome to LISA

FROM MARTIN THOMPSON, OWNER & FOUNDER ITAM REVIEW LEARNING LIMITED

LISA is separating from ITAM Forum, what this means for you?

I would like to share an organisational update about LISA. 

The ITAM Forum is in the process of moving into the Linux Foundation. As part of that transition, LISA will operate as a separate privately owned business, and the ITAM Review will also become a separate entity again – returning to its roots as independent ITAM industry analysis. 

Martin Thompson, ITAM Forum founder and LISA course expert.

What’s changing: 

  • LISA will be run as a privately owned, for-profit commercial business. 
  • From February 2026: you should expect minor naming/label changes across our platforms.  

What’s not changing: 

  • There will be no change to our services or access to your training – your subscription will not be disrupted. 
  • From a customer and procurement perspective, nothing changes: 
  • Same company name / legal entity you’ve always contracted with 
  • Same bank account details for payments 
  • Same invoicing and commercial processes 
  • Same subscription value: practical, job-relevant training and ongoing improvements 

Although the organisations are separating, our working relationship with the ITAM Forum remains strong. In particular, our alignment with Wisdom events: including the continuation of free tickets for LISA subscribers (subject to the usual event capacity and logistics). 

Looking ahead: 2026 roadmap (and your ideas) 

We have a strong roadmap for 2026: expanding and refreshing the curriculum, keeping content current, and making the platform even more useful for ITAM/SAM/FinOps and adjacent roles. 

But LISA has always been built in conversation with people doing the work. If there are topics you want covered, formats you prefer, or capability gaps you’re seeing in your teams, please contact me directly, I am genuinely open to your ideas and fascinated to hear your feedback 

If you have any questions about this change – commercial, contractual, or practical please contact us.
