Professional Designations Announces One All-Encompassing IT Asset Management Course

Rolling Meadows, IL – August 27, 2019

Professional Designations Corporation (PDC) is pleased to announce a new IT asset management (ITAM) certification. Other examination institutions offer multiple, separate ITAM certifications, whereas this IT Asset Management Essentials certification provides all the core concepts of the discipline into one comprehensive offering.

To fully understand the best practices of IT asset management, individuals have historically obtained training that’s often divided into three separate courses: a foundation course, software asset management course, and a hardware asset management course. With a series of specialized training courses, there is frequently an overlap of important yet repetitive information. Having an individual attend three separate training courses also represents a significant investment of both time and money for the individual and organization.

This singular IT Asset Management Essentials certification features a new integrated IT asset management model that provides the essential elements necessary for the effective acquisition and life cycle management of all hardware, software, and mobile assets as well as cloud-based and emerging technologies.

In addition, the IT Asset Management Essentials certification course is aligned with industry-leading practices like ITIL 4.

“There’s a need for organizations to better understand the larger perspective of IT asset management,” says PDC representative Felipe Villegas. “This one innovative certification will allow successful attendees to immediately apply their learnings upon their return to their organization.”

The IT Asset Management Essentials certification will ensure successful candidates can apply the concepts they’ve learned in practice, including:

How to demonstrate the value of IT asset management through the alignment of objectives and key measures to benefit the organization
How to establish an appropriate foundation as well as the parameters for an effective IT asset management program, including scope, governance, policies, and controls
The various legal, contract, and regulatory compliance concerns related to acquiring, managing, and disposing of IT assets
How to ensure the cost-effective acquisition of assets through standards, justification, recovery and reuse of assets, and common organization procurement practices
