The ITAM Review

Hello and thank you for visiting the ITAM Review. My name is Martin Thompson and I write the ITAM Review to provide an independent, unbiased view of the SAM, ITAM and Software Licensing market.

The ITAM Review began in late 2008 so that anyone involved in the SAM or ITAM industry could share their expertise, feedback and opinions of the technology and services in the market for the benefit of others.

I originally started the site so that practical implementation experience could be shared amongst peers. Whilst there appears to be plenty of information regarding best practice frameworks and ‘what to do‘, there is a severe shortage of information on ‘how to‘ do it.

The goal is to provide a free, impartial and independent forum for industry professionals to rate and review tools and services and share advice and techniques. Allowing readers to make informed decisions on their ITAM and SAM investments and strategy. This site is vendor independent and does not accept sponsorship or advertising.

The ITAM Review is an online community for worldwide ITAM professionals. My mission is to provide independent industry news, reviews, resources and networking opportunities to Vendors, Partners, Consultants and End Users working in the areas of IT Asset Management, Software Asset Management or Software Licensing.

I first started working within the IT Asset Management field in 2000 and have since had direct experience with various software asset management, license management and IT Asset Management Technologies. I have also been fortunate enough to work with some great software vendors, business partners, and end user organisations across the UK, Northern Europe and the Middle East.
