ITAMantics - October 2023

This month Rich, George and AJ tackle the biggest stories to rock the ITAM World in November. Note that the BIGGEST story of the month happened the day after we recorded this, so there is no mention of Flexera announcing its intention to acquire Snow Software.

Stories tackled this month are:
- Atlassian buys AirTrack: Consolidation Down Under 
- AI Driving 2024 IT Agenda: Snow Software report 
- Draft of the ITAM Review Microsoft Certification 
- What ITAM can learn from contract management: Lessons from Schiphol Airport 
- Harnessing the power of Microsoft Copilot: A guide for business decision makers

If you notice Rich go a little quiet when discussing his love of Australian coffee and the caffeine-based rivalry between Melbourne and Sydney, don't worry, he soon returns. He simply wanted to save your ears from his excessively loud doorbell...

As hybrid environments become the norm within organisations, considering what you can run where is a key component of system architecture and IT Asset Management. In this episode, Rich talks to Dean (LicenseFortress) and Tim (Bridgeton Data) about the dos and don'ts of running Oracle software in the Microsoft Azure cloud - from both a licensing and a technical perspective.

If you have Oracle software and Microsoft Azure in your environment, this episode will help you define what can (and can't) be done as they come together.

Always immersed in the world of clubbing and, above all, a true lover of house music, ITAM has worn every hat—from PR to event organizer, and finally, DJ and producer.

In 2010, he launched the 'backtobeat' project with friends Erly and Mirko, aiming to create experiences that celebrate not just one musical genre, but a vibe of pure fun, positive energy, refined sounds, and a laid-back atmosphere.

Rooted in the warm tones of Deep House, his style blends classic House Music—the sound that first sparked his passion for clubbing—with Afro and Tribal influences that bring every DJ set to life.
