Why is IT asset management important?
ITAM is an essential part of any modern business’s IT strategy. With technology evolving at a rapid pace, it can be challenging to keep track of all your IT assets, from hardware to software licenses. But without proper management, you risk overspending on unnecessary equipment, exposing your business to security risks, and failing to comply with regulatory requirements. That’s where Restore Technology comes in. Effective ITAM enables businesses to optimise costs, enhance security, ensure compliance with software licenses, and make informed decisions about IT investments. It also helps prevent resource waste by identifying and addressing unused or underutilised assets.
Can ITAM services save my business money?
ITAM helps uncover underutilised assets that can be repurposed or sold, ensuring efficient resource use. It also optimises software license management, preventing unnecessary purchases. Additionally, proper ITAD practices can create revenue opportunities through asset resale or environmentally responsible recycling.

Call usIT Asset Management (ITAM) FAQs
IT Asset Management (ITAM) encompasses the strategic processes and practices employed by an organisation to govern and optimise the lifecycle of its IT assets. This includes the comprehensive management of hardware, software, and digital resources from acquisition through retirement.
ITAM is a fundamental discipline for organisations seeking to maximise the value derived from their IT investments, minimise associated risks, and maintain operational excellence through informed and strategic management of their technology resources.
Here at Restore Technology, while our primary focus is on the secure disposal of end-of-life IT assets, we understand the importance of robust IT Asset Management (ITAM) throughout the asset lifecycle.
Effectively tracking IT assets requires a strong inventory with regular audits, ideally managed through dedicated ITAM software. Implementing the following tracking methods will provide crucial visibility and control over your IT assets throughout their lifecycle, leading to better security and cost management:
- Employ asset tagging like barcodes or RFID for physical tracking
- Establish clear policies for asset acquisition, assignment, maintenance, and retirement
- Educate your team on IT asset tracking procedures and prioritise accurate data entry
- For modern IT, utilise specific tools for cloud and mobile asset management
IT asset management software can automate asset discovery by scanning networks and identifying devices, reducing manual effort and improving data accuracy.
At Restore Technology, we take data security extremely seriously and have implemented robust measures to prevent data breaches throughout the processing of your IT assets. This includes a secure chain of custody, thoroughly vetted and trained personnel, dedicated secure facilities and certified data destruction methods.
However, in the unlikely event of a data breach, we have a comprehensive incident response plan in place – this would involve the following:
- Containing the breach immediately
- Promptly notifying you (in compliance with regulations)
- Understanding the cause and scope of the breach with a thorough internal investigation
- Implementing any remediation measures to address vulnerabilities
While we strive for the highest levels of security, our terms and conditions and insurance policies would also address liability in such a situation, underscoring our commitment to safeguarding your data throughout the entire IT asset processing lifecycle.
ITAM significantly enhances cybersecurity by providing crucial visibility over all IT assets, enabling effective vulnerability management by identifying outdated systems. It also supports license compliance, reducing risks associated with unsupported software. In the event of a security incident, ITAM aids in rapid response by identifying affected assets. Furthermore, it facilitates policy enforcement and regulatory compliance, including secure end-of-life disposal (a Restore Technology speciality). Ultimately, ITAM provides the foundational awareness and control necessary to protect against cyber threats throughout the entire IT asset lifecycle.
ITAM must include both hardware and software because they are interdependent and equally critical for a complete understanding of the IT environment. Ignoring one creates security vulnerabilities, as software exploits hardware and vice versa. Financially, managing both hardware and software optimises spending by preventing over or under-licensing and inefficient hardware use. Operationally, knowing both aids in effective IT support and planning. For compliance, tracking both is necessary to adhere to regulations and licensing agreements. A holistic view of hardware and software ensures better security, financial control, operational efficiency, and regulatory adherence.
