The Institute for Technology Asset Management provides professional development and public training programs in the fields of Software & Copyright Compliance Assurance (SCCA), Software Asset Management (SAM), Information Technology Asset Management (ITAM / TAM), and Technology Portfolio Management (TPM).
The Institute's information technology asset management professional development programs are anchored in the front line common sense experiences of working IT asset managers - representing our global membership. These practitioners also have deep expertise in such areas as project management, contract management, business process improvement, internal auditing, negotiations, ITIL, ISO standards, and other complimentary fields. In addition, our programming is unique in the industry, having been organized and delivered at the collegiate level to optimize both depth of coverage and alignment of competencies with both academic principles and real world IT asset management operations.
Our primary goals? To develop and deliver the IT asset management industry's most cost-effective and comprehensive professional development knowledge and credentialing programs.
Our supportive goals? To deliver our programming to a global audience, enabling businesses of all sizes, operating in any industry or cultural environment, to gain maximum ROI value for their business technology investments while minimizing technology related risks.
The Institute for Technology Asset Management training is the first programming to be based on globally recognized professional competencies as documented in the standardized Guide to the Technology Asset Management Body of Knowledge – TAMBOK™. The uniquely affordable TAMBOK documents the competencies necessary for practitioners – or enterprises – to establish and support a wide range of information technology asset management initiatives.
The Institute's training programs re-enforce and enhance the process behind the proven TAMBOK competencies. While the Institute programs integrate a wide range of standards and best practices, our members believe that there is a significantly higher percentage of ROI results to be generated from a renewed focus on basic business processes and practitioner competencies. As a direct consequence, IT asset management training from The Institute delivers significant value at minimal expense – with no need to purchase costly standards, consulting, or support products.
The Institute is the only non profit [501(c)(3)] practitioner-driven association of IT asset management professionals in the world, having been established to fill the void of providing cost-effective training and open knowledge transfer to information technology asset managers as well as to the general public. The Institute also leads the IT asset management field in providing the only non-proprietary professional development and credentialing programs designed around a functional interdisciplinary knowledge framework.
The Institute's TAMBOK-focused professional development programs have been available online since 2006 with custom-built instructor-led IT asset management programming currently available on a scheduled basis. Institute programming is also being delivered at the university level via workforce development programming. The Institute will resume scheduling open-to-the-public – instructor led - programming via its new web site in 2nd quarter 2011.
