How to manage AI tools?

AI tools are hot topic for all of us and especially business units who seek potential for speeding up and increase of profits. However, AI is a beast that is not yet tamed by IT organisations and Asset Management disciplines.

Like in case of GDPR, governments are also falling behind when it comes to delivering regulations. In the meantime, employees can engage with ChatGPT, Office365 or GenAI services to name just a few.

In 2024 European Union will introduce Artificial Intelligence Act which will split AI into types: restricted, high risk and minimal risk – this will affect whole AI market and companies using it. That’s why Dorota Sołdrowska will help us understand:

• What’s the scope of AI Act?

• Is it important? How it influences our organisations?

• What can we lean on from legal perspective and how to engage with our organisations?

• What is the calendar that we should act upon?

• How can we prepare and what to do?

• What are the risks and challenges?

Roundtable Session 1: Asset portfolio rationalization / consolidation. Why? What? How?

Consolidation, reuse, reduction are for many obvious elements of ITAM discipline and often are mentioned in IT or company strategies. However, the challenge begins with scale and complexity. Do you only look at software, licenses or maybe hardware? What about whole systems or services?

• What is the scope of assets that you consolidate? Where do you stop?

• How to actively support consolidation activities?

• What are the ways to rationalize IT assets in the company?

• Who should do it? What are the roles and responsibilities?

• How ITAM can support or drive?

Roundtable Session 2: How do you engage with enterprise data model and dependency management?

Companies, organisations and complexity of enterprise environments grow every day and all of that aspects can be described by data models to provide transparency, and enable making decisions when number of elements to manage is overwhelming for a human mind. Services, systems, capabilities, CIs... usually a world of IT Architects. But is it really only architecture's interest?

Does ITAM have anything to say or just comply?

During this session we'll discuss ITAM's proactive or passive approach on the data model that governs IT organisation.

The following questions will help us during the discussion:

• Do you have defined data model for all assets in your organisation?

• Are you part of the designing and management of the data model?

• How do you deal with scale and complexity?

• Do you actively use and manage dependencies between the assets?

Roundtable Session 3: How to make ITAM visible and part of decision makers' agenda?

Everyone knows that ITAM brings value, but it's still treated as a cost. Have you saved millions, but still has been asked to reduce the cost or not make further investments in ITAM? Could your organisation avoid costly mistake if only you were part of the discussion? We know the struggle.
