IAITAM, who is vendor-neutral and prides itself as offering real-world solutions to IT Asset Management (ITAM) issues, is taking its assessment product (ITAM360 Assessment), which is based off of the IAITAM 12 Key Process Areas (the only documented ITAM architecture), and commissioning Ernst & Young (EY) to deliver the assessment.

EY, as a global organization, can provide services in the technology space and is perfectly positioned to deliver this assessment with IAITAM with its global reach, credentials in compliance and position of independence. Together IAITAM and EY will deliver the global standard for organizations to aspire to in ITAM.

The organizational certification signals that the holder possesses and maintains a topflight ITAM program. In addition, as a part of the service, IAITAM and EY will provide an in-depth roadmap that an organization can follow to improve upon processes and controls in its ITAM programs.

ITAM has recently seen widespread adoption and recognition as a core business competency. 2014 will be a year during which ITAM gains significant global adoption in organizations of all shapes and sizes. This adoption will also usher in unprecedented focus both internally and externally on organizational ITAM processes.

Resulting improvements will help drive productivity, mitigate risk and generate quantifiable financial savings from IT investment. The affiliation with EY, together with IAITAM's relationships with APMG and William Howard Taft University, will complete a trifecta of ITAM offerings and push the profession into unchartered heights.
