Hotel", Edinburgh
Linda McGrath, Fitz Software Services (8.45 a.m. - 9.30 a.m.)
"Cost Savings Realisation by Managing Your
Assets"
Linda joined Fitz Software in 1998 and is
currently a Senior Account Manager. Previously she worked for eight years with a major
national wholesale company in sales and procurement. With Fitz Software she specialises in
their range of IT Asset Management solutions, dealing with U.K. & Irish companies who
have been implementing Asset Management practices.
Many organisations including Gartner and the Meta group say that
savings can be made by managing IT assets effectively. KPMG's 2001 survey on this area
suggests that UK Plc are losing £17 billion a year in potential cost savings. Linda will
explain in his session what the value proposition is for this area, together with examples
of why people are struggling to take effective action to achieve savings. She will present
a case for building an IT Asset Manager into your organisation, defining the key
responsibilities and function of the Asset Manager and discuss the key elements of a
successful Asset Management program.
