Any IT asset management (ITAM) activity is likely valuable, but have you considered the opportunity of move from the reactive ITAM activities (counting the number of things, understanding their cost, and reconciling for software compliance purposes) to more proactive ITAM capabilities?
The most obvious opportunity is software license optimization, which brings in usage data to understand whether the cost of the software is justified in business value terms. With licenses reharvested if the software is underused. The same can be done for hardware and service subscriptions too.
Please respond with where you are and where you would like to be with ITAM. Thanks :)
