ABOUT THE EVENT

WHERE

CTG, ZAVENTEM

WHAT WILL HAPPEN?

The launch of ITIL4 revived Axelos presence in the Service Management scene. Although it is only the foundation material, it gives a good indication of the direction the latest framework version wants to guide you on your service management journey.
In this session, we will review how ITIL positioned itself in the new Service Management world. Both the new and renewed concepts will be analysed. What is that SVS all about? Will the SVC be supportive enough in your daily practice? And what about the openness towards other models? Does agile really fit in? Can ITIL and DevOps connect?

AFTER THIS INTRODUCTION, WE WILL SPLIT UP THE ATTENDEES IN SMALLER TEAMS. WITH THESE SMALLER ROUND-TABLE SESSIONS, WE WILL FACILITATE THE DISCUSSION AND EXPERIENCE SHARING ON AGILE SERVICE MANAGEMENT. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON AGILE SERVICE MANAGEMENT? WHAT WORKS? WHAT NOT?

MATTHIAS LEPLAE

ROLE OF THE IT ASSET MANAGER: WHERE DOES IT START AND WHERE DOES IT END?

19.30

What was considered IT Asset Management years ago might not be considered IT asset management today. Even today there are diverging interpretations of the exact role of the IT asset manager. There is no fixed job description or role definition of the IT asset manager. It depends what capabilities are already present in the organization and how the potential activities that can be categorized under the ITAM umbrella can benefit the organization. Define your company-specific interpretation of IT asset management.

After 4 years immersed in software license compliance Matthias co-founded the company Leadout in 2018 to focus on addressing the needs of Belgian companies in IT asset management. Since then Leadout has helped several organizations within Belgium but also In other European countries to benefit from applying focus on IT asset management. Matthias has a large background in Microsoft and SAP but increased his attention lately to the end-to-end aspects of a sustainable ITAM program.
