Beyond the Inventory: The Real Cost of Asset Lifecycle Neglect
The asset management and financial framework ITSM leaders need to stop wasting IT budget
Most organizations believe they’re managing their IT assets. What they’re actually doing is reacting to them—and losing money in the process. Companies worldwide waste $18 million annually on unused software, with 30–40% of SaaS licenses sitting completely idle. This isn’t the result of poor IT management. It’s what happens when organizations grow without governance.
This eBook gives ITSM and Service Desk managers a business case for finance, a practical four-stage framework (Visibility → Governance → Automation → Optimization), and the six metrics that prove lifecycle maturity—so IT can shift from cost center to strategic function.
