The ITAM Review Launches Virtual User Group (VUG)
One of the recurring themes in the reader survey back in February was that ITAM Review readers simply wanted to connect with each other.
Whilst there are forums and LinkedIn discussions available on the Internet the business practice of ITAM contains commercially sensitive subjects and not all companies are happy to discuss issues in a public forum.
Similarly, many of the public forums also contain service providers and tool vendors. I’m not against companies promoting their services and I believe service providers with implementation experience have a huge amount to add to the industry, but sometimes promotion tends to muddy the water and dilute the original discussion.
