The publication establishes supplemental guidance and execution-level procedures for managing hardware and software assets across the 844 Communications Group enterprise. It addresses asset life cycle management, accountability, inventory tracking, reporting, tailoring, and the use of EITSM and APSR systems.
Applies to: This supplement applies to all Air Force District of Washington (AFDW) organizational components and organizations conducting business for and on behalf of 844 CG when using information technology (IT) assets.
The goal of the ITAM process is for individuals to embrace accountability for and the safeguarding of the Government property in their possession, and the organization to effectively account for that property and report it accurately and efficiently, with no impact on productivity.
ITAM covers all IT assets, hardware and software that are under the direct responsibility of the 844 CG and subordinate squadrons that meet the criteria defined within DAFMAN 17-1203, or constitute assets of special interest to the 844 CG Commander for Configuration Management (CM) purposes.
The ITAM process provides a consistent and effective management methodology to guide stakeholders through the life cycle phases of hardware property, ensuring an enterprise perspective is maintained.
All hardware assets will be tracked by the IT Services (ITS) Contractor’s Hardware Asset Management (HAM) staff, who will provide the services of the Property Custodian (PC, f.k.a. ITEC) on behalf of the Unit Accountable Property Officer (APO, i.e. Unit Commander/equivalent) in accordance with (IAW) the terms and conditions of the AFNCR ITS contract.
In fulfilling the role of the PC, they track day to day changes to the inventory in the 844 CG Enterprise IT Service Management System (EITSM, i.e. Remedy).
