The ITAM Review Podcast ITAM Review

This month Rich, George and AJ tackle the biggest stories to rock the ITAM World in November. Note that the BIGGEST story of the month happened the day after we recorded this, so there is no mention of Flexera announcing its intention to acquire Snow Software. We'll give that plenty of airtime in the December episode...

Stories tackled this month are:
- Atlassian buys AirTrack: Consolidation Down Under
- AI Driving 2024 IT Agenda: Snow Software report
- Draft of the ITAM Review Microsoft Certification
- What ITAM can learn from contract management: Lessons from Schiphol Airport
- Harnessing the power of Microsoft Copilot: A guide for business decision makers

If you notice Rich go a little quiet when discussing his love of Australian coffee and the caffeine-based rivalry between Melbourne and Sydney, don't worry, he soon returns. He simply wanted to save your ears from his excessively loud doorbell...

Rich is once again joined by the experts from LicenseFortress and Beeman & Muchmore - this time to examine the latest happenings in the ongoing battle between Oracle and 3rd party support provider, Rimini St.

They discuss the details of the case, what has happened recently, and how this may impact customers of Oracle and Rimini St - and what potential it holds for the wider software and IT industry.

Everything in the podcast is opinion based on public information.

Rich speaks to Paul Deur from ReadyWorks about how Digital Platform Conductors tools can help organisations manage infrastructure and costs across a modern hybrid organisation.

Assets are on-premises and in the cloud - how do you not only track them but also make the most effective use of all the data you have? That's what they attempt to answer in this podcast!

In this podcast, Rich talks to Jillian McCue, ITAM professional and Robbie Plourde of USU about the importance of data across an organisation. They discuss strategies to best engage stakeholders across the business, how to monitor ongoing data quality, the use of dashboards, and more.

They also talk about ways to extend your team in a flexible manner when needed AND ponder what the upcoming AI revolution may look like for ITAM professionals.

This month George, Rich and AJ tackle the latest Gartner Magic Quadrant for SAM Managed Services, the role of AI in ITAM, insights from nearly a year of Oracle's seismic Java licensing changes, and why Ofcom has been shaking its fist at the UK public cloud market.

Oh and why Pinochet makes for the unexpected protagonist in one of AJ's top vampire films ever.

In this podcast AJ Witt from ITAM Review and Alex Cojocaru from Licenseware take you beyond the hype. What is AI, what does it mean for ITAM Professionals, and where will we see it being used in the next few years.
