IT asset management (ITAM) best practices are evolving fast to keep up with the modern business landscape. Are you keeping pace? ITAM must deliver value beyond asset tracking and license management. It’s more important than ever to have precise visibility and control of your IT estate to support business objectives and innovation requirements. With the right strategy, you can transform ITAM from a compliance function to a strategic business driver. Start by attending SoftwareOne’s 2025 ITAM Virtual Summit on April 3. Industry and analyst experts will share a virtual stage with their peers at Microsoft, ServiceNow, and Flexera to discuss all the newest trends and tools in IT asset management, as well as sharing real-world success stories.

Visibility, precision, and AI are the future of asset management

This year’s summit theme, Powered by Precision, points to approaches that don’t just streamline your licensing but give you clear visibility, allowing you to make business decisions that foster growth and innovation. Powered by Precision means that you have the knowledge you need to get it right the first time, and to build on accurate data and exceptional strategy. It also means having the right tools to automate processes, eliminating human error and maximizing efficiencies across your operations. At the Summit, we’ll explore all this, and more.

Take a glance at the 2025 ITAM Virtual Summit agenda:

Moving beyond compliance to drive business success

Typical asset management programs are built for compliance and licensing purposes—to keep your assets in line. While that’s certainly an essential function, it underestimates the value of a comprehensive, strategic ITAM program.

When you align your asset management efforts to your business objectives, ITAM can deliver tangible value beyond asset tracking and license management to optimize costs, reduce risk, and support growth and innovation.

Join Forrester VP and Principal Analyst Martha Bennett alongside experts from SoftwareOne for a keynote discussion of today’s asset management demands and opportunities, including actionable steps and real-world success stories.

Integrated asset management to future-proof your estate

ITAM in isolation can keep your IT ducks in a row, but you’ll realize the most value from your asset management program when you integrate it with IT Service Management (ITSM), IT Operations Management (ITOM), security, finance, and other key business functions.

Enter platform approaches like ServiceNow’s, which offer the ability to connect ITAM to other functions, ensuring better decision-making, risk mitigation, and cost control to break down silos, optimizing costs and increasing efficiency.

In this fireside chat, experts from SoftwareOne and ServiceNow will share the benefits of using an AI-powered platform to unify ITAM with ITSM, ITOM, security, and finance, for comprehensive control of your IT landscape.

Visibility to power cloud migration

As IT estates become more complicated, so can cloud migration. Without ITAM integrated into your migration strategy, you’ll simply move your on-prem complexities, risks, and compliance issues to the cloud, leading to bloated cloud costs, amplified risks, and wasted resources.

Instead of moving a mess from one environment to another, building ITAM into your cloud migration strategy can help you assess existing assets, optimize licensing, and maintain ongoing governance, ensuring a strategic, cost-effective transition to the cloud.

In this panel, Microsoft Azure experts will join experts from SoftwareOne to discuss the importance of visibility during cloud migration, best practices for license optimization to avoid overspend, leveraging Microsoft 365 Copilot and Azure tools for AI-driven asset management, and real-world insights on how ITAM ensures a smooth and efficient transition to Azure.

ITAM and FinOps work better together

With double-digit increases in SaaS spend year over year, according to Gartner, most organizations are facing explosive SaaS sprawl, resulting, in turn, in overspending, underutilization, and increased complexity across their IT estates. In fact, somewhere between 25% and 50% of licenses are not regularly used—whether forgotten or never fully adopted.

What’s the best way to rein in all that wasted spend: ITAM or FinOps? Why not both?

In this fireside chat, experts from SoftwareOne and Flexera will discuss the advantages of an approach that combines ITAM and FinOps to harness the structure and control of ITAM with the fiscal discipline of FinOps, ensuring better decision-making, risk mitigation, and cost control.

Your assets, and so much more: Managed

Modern IT demands more precision, visibility, and sophistication than ever before. Advances like AI can complicate or clarify, depending on how you deploy them. One thing’s for sure: the longer you put off strategic asset management, the more your challenges will multiply. Whether you’re facing a complex cloud migration, SaaS sprawl, or simply the urgency of increasing IT complexity, the 2025 ITAM Virtual Summit is bringing the knowledge you need to get it under control and turn your ITAM program into a launchpad for growth and innovation.
