Wisdom EMEA 2023 Wrap Up

We gained wisdom last week at Wisdom EMEA 2023

June 22, 2023

Last week, Wisdom EMEA was back in person and with a bang. It’s excellent agenda filled with interesting sessions (lead by a wide range of ITAM industry experts) made it hard at times to choose which breakout room to enter.

This blog first appeared on the Angelpoint website.  Angelpoint is an ITAM Forum Certification Patron.

Last week we invited members of the ITAM community to our London office to discuss a topic close to our hearts.  Sustainability in ITAM. These regular roundtables are designed to be a place to share common challenges, questions, and ideas about the pressing issues of our industry. And this one brought up lots of questions.

There’s no doubt sustainability is a hot topic these days. Get a group of CIOs together to talk about what’s on the horizon and no doubt it will be at the top of the agenda.

Attendees also commented that they are seeing more customers asking about sustainability.  Meanwhile, they are seeking help to create systems where they can provide sustainability reports as part of their ITAM function.
