The Definition of IT Asset Management

IT asset management is the set of business practices that support life cycle management and strategic decision making for the IT environment. IT assets include all software and hardware contained in your organization's IT environment. 

As new devices and applications escalate on business networks, it’s becoming more difficult for corporations to recognize which IT assets live in their climate, where they exist, who controls them, and their associated security risks.
