Dissatisfied customers or clients 7 – these are people who invest money in the organization. Keeping them as happy and satisfied as possible should be one of your organization's top priorities. Once you've identified the problems and risks associated with improper IT asset management, it's important to understand how to prevent them. The first step is to evaluate the organization's resource capacity. Here are the five steps to capacity-focused IT: 1.

Understand resource capacity: Approval of a project or process should be based on current resource capacity.3. Get a complete view of both capacity and demand: Demand for resources should never exceed what capacity can provide.4.
