NEW! Virtual IBPL Advanced Training Courses
With the release of the IAITAM Best Practice Library (“IBPL”), it became evident that in order for organizations to quickly incorporate the IBPL components into their enterprise IAITAM would have to provide curricula that would enable the IT Asset Manager to integrate the knowledge provided in the IBPL volumes.
Each IBPL Advanced Training Course counts as 4 points towards your CSAM, CHAMP or CITAM Recertification.
It is the mission of IAITAM to expand the knowledge of the IT Asset Management Profession. We look forward to passing on that knowledge to every attendee that comes through the doors into one of our classrooms. Order Today |

Asset Identification Advanced Training Course
Asset Identification encompasses the activities that uniquely identify and validate the physical presence of IT assets.

Communication & Education Advanced Training Course
Communication & Education Management will require many people directly supporting the program and the entire organization when it comes to awareness and understanding of policy. Proactive change management requires planning and communicating for change, followed by the necessary training to ensure that the adoption of these new policies are successful and that employees truly understand how to use the new processes. Departments within the organization in the past have been able to operate rather autonomously, each dependent on the other for the success of the overall business strategy but not dependent on one another for the function of the individual department. Information Technology has changed this business model forever. The good news is that this is possible with a strategic plan for communication and education.

Project Management Advanced Training Course
Project Management can be defined as an organized and managed set of activities that results in the achievement of a unique and well-defined end-result or work product or deliverable. Resources are mobilized and deployed to perform the activities in a controlled fashion. A project, implicitly and by definition, has a start and an end. Therefore, a project differs from recurring operational activities that may be performed many times repeatedly in a typical corporate environment. The Project Management process area defines those characteristics of a project team that are essential to successfully conducting the initiatives that are needed to meet the goals of the ITAM.
