CHAMP - Certified Hardware Asset Management Professional

Hardware Asset Management holds significant potential for organizational benefits. In today’s economic climate and the constraints on IT budgets, uncovering savings has become paramount. Even organizations previously unfamiliar with asset management are now educating their staff and adopting business practices to maximize every allocated dollar. The Hardware Asset Manager’s success is measured by capturing these savings and demonstrating the percentage of the total IT hardware budget liberated for other organizational projects.​
