Maturity stages of your Hardware Asset Management program

The maturity of your Hardware Asset Management (HAM) program is divided into three stages such as Crawl, Walk, and Run.

表 : 1. Maturity stages

Stage	Description
Crawl	Begin your HAM journey, such as implementing or developing a new HAM program. At this stage, you can define models, create stockrooms, identify tools to discover data, and establish processes and roles. You can set up a normalization process to normalize models and get the date or time of asset lifecycles.
Walk	Begin establishing processes, procedures, policies, resources, and tools to execute on the roadmap of the Hardware Asset Management program. You can automate the manual processes and procedures, which you’ve established during the Crawl stage. Move to automating more complex processes by using HAM workflow.
Run	At this stage, you establish and use mature, advanced, and automated processes and procedures for centralized hardware asset tracking and system management. You use advanced capabilities like zero-touch refresh, asset bundles, mobile classes, and contract renewal workflows. You must also be evaluating processes and establishing HAM goals regularly.
