With the introduction of the ISO /IEC 19770-1 standard for ITAM, a basis is provided to achieve better alignment and integration between ITAM or SAM processes and processes related to other ISO systems.
TIP #6 - October 2019: How ISO enables your organisation to align & integrate ITAM processes with other ISO standards.
The ISO standard for ITAM is built on a universal management system that focusses on the management of the operation, instead of the operation itself. By using the Plan-Do-Check-Act model as founding principle, continuous improvement is integrated. Looking at the market and the increasing ITAM maturity of many organisations, different disciplines like Change Management, Security Management, Procurement and ITAM are getting closer and need to improve their collaboration. By building ITAM processes on top of the universal ISO system, the same language is being spoken as for example within IT Service Management.
Softline Solutions has translated the ISO standard for ITAM into the House of ITAM®, combined with best practises gained by hundreds of SAM/ITAM projects on a yearly basis. Built on the strong ISO management system foundation, the House of ITAM® offers organisations a structured approach of implementing ITAM and achieving Compliance, Control & Cost savings.
