Managing IT Assets for Better Business
01 June 2006, 12:00am

This interactive online forum took place at 2.30pm on 28 June 2006. The event is archived, and you can listen to the debate, and download the presentations.

The mantra of modern business is “agility” – the ability to anticipate change and act rapidly. That requirement to change can put extreme pressure on IT systems, especially when the managers have a poor view of what they have, how it works, and how it all fits together.

One of the first steps towards true agility is to make a strategic investment in IT asset management. This can give IT and business managers a much better understanding of what they have and how they can improve it.

From your desktop, hear from three of the UK’s leading authorities on IT asset management. The lively and educational session lasted one hour and was by hosted by Phil Jones, Information Age’s Research Director. Our three expert panellists were:

• Peter O’Neill, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research who presented his paper on IT Asset Management: An Essential Step to Better Business Management
• Roger Mallett, Senior Architect, Hewlett-Packard ETM & Openview SWAT Team discussed Best Practice in Corporate IT Asset Management today 
• David Osman, VP, Asset Management & Inventory Engineering, Deutsche Bank
