Thank You

Sarah Bailey gave a presentation about her work as the IT Asset & Procurement Manager for Tetra Tech, an engineering consulting firm with over 17,000 associates. She discussed some of Tetra Tech's major projects involving geotechnical design and environmental analysis. She explained that these projects often have IT challenges related to software and hardware needs. Bailey argued that IT departments need to change how they communicate with the business by quickly delivering basics, engaging with different stakeholders, and focusing on short-term goals rather than long-term visions. She believes this involves selecting the right staff, internal communication within IT, and ensuring accurate data.

Martin Thompson

The document summarizes Barry Pilling's presentation at the ITAM Review UK Conference 2018 about aligning software asset management (SAM) processes with data center changes. Key points include: (1) most new software is introduced through projects, making data center SAM important; (2) licensing rules for vendors like Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, and SAP are complex; and (3) changes often create the most licensing risk if not properly managed by the SAM team. The presentation provides recommendations for how organizations can design SAM processes and tools to effectively engage with changes through all project phases.

Martin Thompson

Matt Turner from BT presented on how they delivered 22% cost savings through a converged transformation of their IT license spend profile. Key steps included reorganizing teams to focus on spend, doing deep dives into current software usage, leveraging partners for expertise, and creating a 10-year spend projection. This identified opportunities to reduce legacy software, eliminate duplication, and plan modernization efforts. Through this process, BT reduced their year-over-year IT license spend by 11-18% from 2014 to 2021, putting them on track to achieve their goal of a 50% reduction by 2020.

UK Conference 2018_Software support and maintenance survey - Martin Thompson

Victoria Kealy

The document summarizes key findings from a survey on software support and maintenance trends. It found that (1) many organizations do not scrutinize support renewals closely enough due to lack of data, (2) security fears are exploited by vendors to drive profits through restrictive policies, and (3) there is a strategic opportunity for IT asset managers to centralize oversight of the renewals process and negotiate better deals.

Implementing good datacenter governance through a standardized software introduction process can help optimize costs and mitigate risks.

UK Conference 2018_the brave world of IaaS_David Foxen

Martin Thompson

David Foxen presented at The ITAM Review UK Conference 2018 on the topic of IT asset management as a service (ITAMaaS). He discussed how ITAM is shifting from a compliance-focused function to a service-based model that adds value for customers and senior leadership. ITAMaaS involves treating ITAM as an internal service or profit center by charging other business units. Foxen argued this change in focus helps improve customer experience and support through quicker response times, enhanced service, transparency, and collaborative relationships.
