The #1 Question…
What Problems Do You Have?
SWID Tags: End User Value in the Real WorldWelcome to My SAM World…

7
What Problems do you Have - Software (SAM)
Many organizations consider SAM a problem because of the complexity and resources required to manage the software lifecycle. Software details are often a black hole where software information lags behind more readily available hardware information.
• Validation is a necessary byproduct of the environment- Tagvault Study
• Implementation - Is OOTB ever a reality- Project vs. Activity
• No one Tool to Rule Them All- Multiple tools to manage SAM environments & metrics
• ISO Tagging (currently) is a Manual Effort- Tool Providers have a roadmap- Line in Sand - No retro fitting of previous installations

• Implementation of Tools- Configuration of tools - $135k- 25% of resources maintain tool configuration- 1 FTE is maintaining configurations - $86k annually
• No one Tool to Rule Them All- Deskside End Point Management: SCCM - Data Center: SAP, IBM, Oracle, Microsoft - 4 tools/modules $75k - Lifecycle Repository: $ 200k- Infrastructure: $47k- Support & Maintenance Resources: $94k

• Business Services / Infrastructure Service- Collection of Apps/Services- Web Apps- Modules
• Where is the Service- Internal Applications- Archeological Dig

The Value of Tagging to ITSM
• Business Services / Infrastructure Service- Primary Service Tag- Component Tag- Module Tag
• Where is the Service- Tags presence on the server determines location (assuming effective ITAM)- Auto populate Service location in CMS/CMDB- Auto populate Service to Hardware Relationship in CMS/CMDB
• Where are the Dependencies- Enter Service Dependency into Tag
- Application to Application- Application to Database
- Auto Populate App to App Relationships in CMS/CMDB

IT Financial Management (ITFM)
Business decisions related to the planning and controlling of costs are often made based on varying degrees of usable information.
• TCO - Total Cost of Ownership- 70% of costs occur after the purchase of Assets- Data integrations are limited or non-existent- Mapping Assets (software & hardware) to Service Management
• ROI – Return on Investment- Speak the language- Cost benefit analysis- Identify and beware of diminishing returns- Mapping Assets (software & hardware) to Business Services
• Forecasting- Reduce/Eliminate the Guessing Game- Identify Opportunities

• CIOs have been Over Promised & Under Delivered• Executives focus on the Expense• ITAM Value is a risk
- No Guarantee - Estimates Can’t be seen or budgeted
• Need to move from Expense to Investment- Build the Business Case- Proof of Concept - Communicate in Business Terms – TCO, ROI- Identify & Publicize ROI
• The New Reality- Budgets are slashed and opportunities need to be GRAND

SWID Tags: End User Value in the Real WorldUnity in our CommUNITY
We Need to Work Together
• Asset Management is NOT a Critical Service- Does not effect Revenue- Not a core competency – can be outsourced like payroll
• Opportunities Need to be GRAND- Think outside the box- Publishers, Tool Providers, End Users work together- What MORE can ITAM do?
- Spend Analysis- Business Service Valuation- Service Cost Benefit Analysis- …
• It Shouldn’t be So Hard- We Have Standards
• Need more Activity in the EcoSystem- Brainstorm Opportunities- More Publishers supporting Tags- Better Tool Integration
