About this event
Are you ready to discover the tools you’ve been looking for? The ITAM Forum is excited to host its first-ever Disruptors Online Tools Day.
IT Asset Managers, Procurement professionals, and licensing specialists face challenges in finding alternative solutions to legacy software, tools, and providers that not only meet their needs but help their budgets…until now.
Our Disruptors Tools Day provides you with the opportunity to hear about alternative products, receive a brief product demonstration, and ask questions. Some of these tools and services might just be what you’re looking for. This is your chance to discover and evaluate alternative solutions in a non-pressured environment and without leaving your desk.
Our aim is to take some of the ‘pain’ out of tool selection by bringing to you some possibly suitable options. Dip in, dip out or stay for the full event.
This event is brought to you by The ITAM Forum and its sponsors. When you register for this event, your data will be supplied to all parties for the purposes of delivering the event and post- event follow up. More details about how we use your data can be found in our privacy policy .
