The purpose of the IT Asset Management practice is to manage an IT asset’s life cycle, encompassing every phase from procurement to retirement. An IT asset is any valuable component that can contribute to the delivery of an IT product or service. Examples include laptops, desktops, network gear, storage area network (SAN), and Internet of Things (IoT).
