FITARA Competencies

[ITAM-SAM]

I recently conducted a close review of IT asset management- and software management-related training programs and only found one that would be fully compatible with the full scope of FITARA (TAMinstitute.org) The other available programs appear to be considerably less focused while this one is specifically aimed toward building practitioner competencies in lifecycle management of technology goods, services, and contractual agreements as well as clear components relating to risk management, stakeholder management, GAP analysis, cloud, and Internet of Things. I've also discussed this training with multiple people who have attended and they agree - it's as close as we'll get to an exact match.

Anyone had any better luck?

With the advent of the MEGABYTE Act, and its relationship to FITARA, our options for establishing an effective software portfolio management infrastructure become even more critical than ever. Attached are professional development "roadmaps" for the software asset management programs. The "core" program presents SAM foundation competencies SCCA as they function in compliance assurance as well as via their critical roles in establishing the overall SAM initiative. The next level "operations" (SAM)) program builds on the core foundation to extend practitioner competencies to life cycle portfolio management controls.
These online self-paced modules are significantly more comprehensive than any of the alternative programs, and they meet or exceed both ISO and ITIL standards as well.
