IEC 19770 Information Technology, IT Asset Management (ITAM)

    IEC 19770 Introduction

    The organizations are becoming more reliant on multi-faceted IT environments that encompass hardware, software, cloud, and digital licenses. Lack of visibility and control of IT assets is normally the cause of unnecessary costs, security weaknesses, and compliance risks. IEC 19770 creates a structured method of managing IT assets to match the business requirements. The standard also allows the organization to have accurate inventories of the assets and software licensing, and to make informed decisions. It is applicable to organizations regardless of their size or the industry in which they operate if they need information technology.
