How do ITAM Review readers measure hardware throughout the asset lifecycle?
Hardware Asset Management (HAM) Best Practice Survey
Following on from the recently published study into Hard Drive Disposal, I would now really appreciate your support into a survey into Hardware Asset Management best practice. Begin the survey here.
HAM Accuracy – how do you record and measure the breadth and quality of hardware records? How do you measure ownership? How do you manage non-networked or personal devices? Which HAM metrics are important to you?
HAM Processes – what are the key processes that underpin HAM? What asset fields are important and why? What happens when a device is lost or stolen?
Hardware / ITAM Risk – What financial reporting is important to your senior management team? What are the highest profile risks in managing hardware? How do you secure data on devices? etc.
Please share your views so we can share the collective insights with The ITAM Review community. Everyone completing the survey will receive a full copy of the results and all information submitted will be treated in strictest confidence.
