COURSE SUMMARY
Designed to address the numerous issues plaguing professionals in managing hardware assets, the IAITAM Certified Hardware Asset Management Professional (CHAMP) Course follows the lifecycle of IT hardware assets beyond the scope of the cradle to grave analogy and discusses the business practices that can best be used to manage those assets efficiently and cost-effectively.
Emphasis is placed on identifying the policies that enhance lifecycle management. In general, policies are only effective if developed by a cross-section of the impacted departments, are reviewed frequently to remain current and are consistently communicated and enforced.
There are so many ways that Hardware Asset Management can benefit an organisation. In today's economy and the reduction of IT budgets, finding those savings are more important than ever. Organisations that had never heard of asset management are now educating their staff and implementing the business practices in order to maximize every dollar spent.
The best measure of success for the Hardware Asset Manager is capturing these savings and showing the percentage of total IT hardware budget that was freed up to fund other projects in the organisation.
