Synopsis
As professionals navigating the complexities of Software Asset Management (SAM) and IT Asset Management (ITAM), we often find ourselves at a crossroads: Should we build our team internally, buy services, or perhaps a blend of both? If you're grappling with these questions, you're in good company.
Join us for an in-depth session where we'll share experiences and insights from years of building toolsets, leveraging managed services from boutique firms to the Big 4, and assembling successful teams.
This event is designed to illuminate the path forward for SAM/ITAM teams, providing clarity amidst the myriad of possible approaches.
What we'll cover:
- The advantages and disadvantages of buying managed services versus building your team.
- Real-world insights into the challenges and benefits of engaging with boutique firms and the Big 4.
- Strategies to avoid common pitfalls such as inefficiencies and resource wastage.
- Best practices for ramping up, ensuring contract adherence, and maintaining visibility of your environment.
- The value of boutique specialists for vendor-specific needs and how to engage them effectively.
- Building your internal team with a focus on your company's unique requirements.
Why this session is a must-attend:
Gain a deeper understanding of "Buy" vs. "Build" strategies and their impact on your SAM/ITAM goals. Navigate the complexities of working with various service providers, ensuring value and minimizing risks. Equip yourself with actionable insights to make informed, tailored decisions for your organisation.
This session promises to be an invaluable opportunity for anyone looking to refine their SAM/ITAM strategy, whether you're contemplating buying, building, or a combination of both.
