Transforming ITAM in 2026 – How to shift and pivot to continue delivering value

As organisations navigate rapid technological change, the role of ITAM is shifting. Traditional best practices are being challenged by cloud, IoT, AI, and the rise of citizen engineering — and ITAM must evolve to stay relevant and deliver strategic value.

In this panel session, we’ll unpack how the discipline can adapt by moving from centralised, compliance-driven governance to a more collaborative, insight-rich model that embraces modern technology and distributed ownership.

What you’ll gain:

  • A clearer future for ITAM: Understand how emerging technologies are reshaping expectations and redefining ITAM’s place in the organisation.
  • Modern governance approaches: Explore the shift from traditional oversight to holistic management that encourages information sharing and cross-team alignment.
  • Practical transformation strategies: Learn how to modernise ITAM practices to support distributed technology management without losing control or visibility.
  • Tools to optimise value and reduce risk: Gain approaches that help enhance user experiences, strengthen risk mitigation, and increase the business value ITAM provides.
  • A renewed strategic role: See how an evolved ITAM function can better meet organisational needs while keeping pace with today’s dynamic technology landscape.

Audit-Proof, SaaS-Smart, Negotiation-Ready: Your 2026 Tier 1 Roadmap

Many organizations already have vendor agreements and negotiation teams in place – but the real challenge lies in the journey to that point of strength. This webinar explores the critical steps in onboarding vendors into Software Asset Management (SAM) tools to produce accurate Effective License Positions (ELPs).

We’ll unpack:

  • The nuances of data extraction and manipulation, including what to request from vendors (e.g., Microsoft MLS, Oracle license inventory reports)
  • How to consolidate and validate entitlement data across years of renewals
  • Why relying solely on purchase records can lead to inaccuracies and how to ensure full inventory coverage and entitlement visibility
  • A framework for vendor onboarding that applies across tier 1 vendors—whether you’re facing an audit, launching a new project, or planning a vendor transition

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to align discovery and entitlement data, avoid common pitfalls, and confidently navigate the complexities of SAM tool integration. You’ll obtain a clear roadmap of what steps you need to take to be successful in 2026 audits and negotiations.
