The ITAM Foundation training course with the Certified Asset Management Professional (CAMP) Certification is designed to provide an extensive overview of IT Asset Management (ITAM) best practices and processes, as well as offer ways to embrace multiple organisational frameworks such as ITAM and IT Service Management (ITSM).

The use of technology in business has grown extensively over the past three decades and continues to grow exponentially on a daily basis. With that growth comes the need for ITAM as well as the understanding of what ITAM is, the benefi­ts it brings to an organisation and how it spans across all business areas.

This course was built to provide information on each of the IAITAM Best Practice Library’s 12 Key Process Areas (KPAs), the roles and responsibilities that affect an ITAM program, core functional areas, KPA indicators, strategic positioning, and how ITAM can be brought into other frameworks such as ITSM so that they work together in the most efficient way for an organization thus producing a greater ROI for its IT portfolio.
