Delivered a broad “Licensing Microsoft AI” session at IAITAM ACE in Las Vegas, the room was largely full, the audience was very interactive and sharp, and it seems like they found it very useful.

Nice to present somewhere other than a licensing boot camp for a change. 😁

Colleague did his Microsoft licensing presentation at the IAITAM ACE show. Looked great and generated lots of good questions and conversations with attendees. Well worth the trip for all of us.

I’d say Microsoft itself should come to this show, but… I’m not sure they’d know what to do with it. 🫢

I’ve never been to IAITAM ACE until this year… but I’d love to come again. Great keynotes, sessions, speakers… you just have to look past being in Hentucky.

When you are designed to be audited, you get audited less.

The audit was driven by software compliance, but included hardware as a result.

Processes are the foundation, you cannot rely on the tooling to define it for you.

Here’s a roadmap, integrations at the beginning. ServiceNow selected because the executives wanted a platform. SAM had gaps when selected.
Tool doesn’t matter!

Next up is Kurt Greening on AI in Asset Management.

They are specifically talking about entering serial numbers accurately.

I love how deep this one goes!

Cool tip: test your ITAD vendor by changing some data to make sure when you reconcile you can see if they will bring it to your attention.

They launched an ITAM specific portal to improve adoption and visibility.
This helped with entitlement specifically.
“We’re big and hard to work with”
“Lots of asset diversity”

This is the Accenture asset management story. Beginning looked like this.

Lots of one off assets, customer assets in the their environment, leased stuff, temporary assets etc.

They were being audited.

Question from the audience:
We use ServiceNow but can’t afford the Asset Management functions. How do we get around this?
*crickets*
“Look for potential savings to justify the spending”

This industry is paralyzed by a Ferrari vendor taking too much market share.

Great day 2 at the IAITAM Annual Conference & Exhibition (ACE) event! Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth. Huge shoutout to our Azulians, our partners at SoftwareOne, and Simon Taylor for his insightful session on 'The Magic ITAM Formula to navigating Oracle Java Licensing Concerns'. #Java

Audit your ITAD vendor by taking a few devices back and see if you can recover your own data.
