As IT departments evolve their use of technology, connectivity, and networking services, manually maintaining clean, contextual, and cost-validated inventories has become more challenging than ever. In this session, we will address the common pitfalls of manual data management – often referred to as ‘spreadsheet syndrome’ and share best practices around automating the invoice lifecycle across all of your technology and telecom vendors.

Session Insights:

  • Discover the basics of inventory automation and how to maintain accuracy in a dynamic environment.

  • How to leverage ServiceNow’s capabilities, even if you’re not currently a ServiceNow client.
