Online Tools & Services Day
This event is designed specifically for ITAM professionals – we want to help you learn about the latest tools and solutions in a comfortable, non-salesy environment, and without leaving your desk. We can’t remove the need for an RFP or RFI, but we can (hopefully) take away some of the pain that comes with searching for a new tool or service.
So, register now, bring your questions, and get ready for some insightful and interactive demonstrations.
3 reasons to attend:
- Hear from Robbie Plourde (from USU) about maximising SaaS ROI with smarter ITAM. He’ll show how to quickly uncover wasted spend and turn it into measurable ROI with USU’s ITAM solution.
- Learn from Mark Bradley (from Flexera) about unlocking sustainable impact with end-to-end IT visibility. He’ll explain how Flexera One drives sustainable IT outcomes by unifying IT visibility, asset management (ITAM), and cost optimisation in the cloud.
- Gain knowledge from Jeremy Olson (from Dynamic Lifecycle Innovations) about how to gain revenue when retiring assets. He’ll highlight what you need to do to turn your ITAD program into a profit-generating initiative.
