Government-specific ITAM challenges
| What it looks like in agencies | How USU helps | |
| Budget & fiscal-year pressure | “Use it or lose it” spend, renewal spikes, limited staff | Renewal forecasting, spend dashboards, reclaim + reharvest licenses, chargeback/showback visibility |
| Legacy + hybrid environments | On-prem + cloud + mainframe/VDI, decentralized inventories | Unified inventory across hardware, software, SaaS, and cloud; normalization + reconciliation |
| Security & risk | Unknown assets, unmanaged software, weak visibility | Continuous asset visibility + policy-aligned configurations to reduce exposure |
| Procurement complexity | Contract vehicles, approval chains, “must-buy” standards | Usage-based evidence for renewals, controls to prevent redundant tools, procurement policy enforcement |
Outcomes
- Reduce waste across licenses, SaaS and cloud subscriptions
- Improve asset visibility for risk reduction and vulnerability response
- Support procurement decisions with defensible usage data
- Stay audit-ready with automated evidence collection
Mandate-driven ITAM is now operational IT
Government IT teams are expected to modernize systems, control spend, and strengthen cybersecurity while producing audit-ready evidence on demand. The challenge is that asset data is often fragmented across tools, contracts, and teams, making reporting slow, manual and hard to defend.
Why accurate IT asset inventories matter
Unplanned true-ups, shelfware & wasted renewals
Incomplete audit evidence & inconsistent reporting
Unmanaged assets create security gaps
Poor usage data drives bad decisions
USU helps agencies operationalize governance - continuously
Unified asset inventory (on‑prem, SaaS, cloud)
Automate license & usage tracking
Repeatable audit-ready reporting
Integrate ITSM/CMDB & security context
Support for federal cybersecurity and compliance mandates
| What agencies typically need to demonstrate | How USU supports it (examples) | |
| EO 14028 (cybersecurity) | Asset visibility, improved security posture, measurable controls | Authoritative asset inventory, configuration alignment reporting, continuous visibility across environments |
| Fisma | Repeatable controls evidence + reporting for assessments | Automated data collection, policy-based reporting, evidence export for audits |
| FedRAMP (cloud services) | Continuous monitoring artifacts, inventory + change visibility | SaaS/cloud asset tracking, integration-fed evidence, dashboards for audit preparation |
| BOD 23-01 | Improved asset visibility + vulnerability detection capabilities | Device/software discovery alignment, inventory completeness tracking, integration with vuln tools (see security integration below) |
