ITAM PRACTITIONER TRAINING

Are you ready to take IT Asset Management (ITAM) to a professional level? Do you want to act as a strategic gatekeeper of digital and financial integrity rather than just an administrative manager of lists? Our ITAM Practitioner Training provides you with the tools, knowledge, and hands-on experience to make this a reality.

Why attend the ITAM Practitioner Training?
In a hybrid and dynamic IT environment, where regulations and standards (such as NIS2, DORA, BIO, ISO27000) are becoming increasingly strict and software vendors are more aggressive in auditing, traditional license management is no longer sufficient. This training stands out because participants learn to work practically as ITAM professionals, applying best practices and real-world examples directly. Unlike many other courses, this training focuses not only on knowledge transfer but on actually performing ITAM in complex situations.

You will learn, among other things:
  • Governance: acting professionally within a management system (ISO 19770-1)
  • Rhythm: eliminating operational drift through predictable, repeatable work cycles
  • Evidence: supporting decisions with reliable data, context, and timing — essential for a defensible position
Who is the ITAM Practitioner Training for?

This training is ideal for ITAM professionals, Software Asset Managers, contract managers, and security and compliance teams looking to professionalize their skills and prevent operational drift.

What will you learn during the ITAM Practitioner Training?
This practical, intensive two-day training focuses on applying ITAM knowledge in realistic scenarios. You will learn to:
  • Break down the semantic wall – communicate effectively with vendors, auditors, and stakeholders using a normative terminology framework
  • Eliminate operational drift – design and maintain a structured ITAM rhythm that closes the gap between policy and practice
  • Master the data chain – transform raw discovery data into a legally defensible Effective License Position (ELP)
  • Be audit-ready ‘by design’ – produce evidence that meets TIU standards: data, context, and time
  • Build strategic bridges – translate ITAM data into actionable insights for the CISO (resilience) and CFO (financial exposure)
  • Practical ITAM execution – apply best practices and hands-on skills through exercises, role plays, and real-world case studies
What does the ITAM Practitioner Training look like?

Our sessions are interactive and highly practical. Day 1 focuses on the foundation and operational production chain of ITAM, including semantics, management systems, and designing a professional rhythm. Day 2 focuses on integration with security and finance, risk management, audit defense, and stakeholder enablement. You will work with real-world cases and practice your skills in scenarios you are likely to encounter in your daily work.

What will you be able to do after the ITAM Practitioner Training?
After this training, you will be able to:
  • Perform ITAM professionally and defensibly in complex organizations
  • Detect and prevent operational drift
  • Transform raw data into a legally defensible ELP
  • Proactively manage audits and build a defensible position
  • Effectively inform and advise stakeholders such as CFO and CISO
  • Work practically as an ITAM professional, applying best practices in real situations
Certification

After completing the training and passing the exam, participants can become certified as TIU ITAM Practitioner, demonstrating that they can execute ITAM professionally, defensibly, and practically.
