I’m Alan Plastow and there are perfectly logical reasons why I recommend technical personnel shouldn’t manage software asset management (SAM), copyright compliance (SCCA), software piracy or information technology portfolio management (ITPM) initiatives. Simply put: It isn’t their job. Don’t come all over paranoid on me—Here is why I make the statement: In discussions with hundreds of asset managers & companies from around the globe, I have found that technical personnel most frequently have their hands—and schedules—completely full just bringing mission critical technologies up to speed and keeping IT systems functional.
So? What can you do to improve the value of existing technology investments or optimize new tech investments? Here are some cost-effective ideas for increasing value while reducing costs and minimizing risks.
