Thanks in advance

Daily:

• Monitor discovery/import schedules for asset updates.
• Check for failed imports and reconciliation errors.

Weekly:

• Review duplicate or orphaned assets.
• Validate software installations against license entitlements.

Monthly:

• Audit asset lifecycles and update statuses.
• Analyze trends in software and hardware usage.

Quarterly:

• Review contract renewals and compliance risks.
• Perform physical inventory audits for hardware assets.

Yearly:

• Align ITAM processes with business goals and compliance standards.
• Reassess asset inventory for depreciation or end-of-life replacements.

Proactive Measures:

• Automate workflows and notifications for license renewals or expiring contracts.
• Use dashboards to track KPIs like cost savings, compliance, and asset utilization.

I hope this information helps
