At its core, the mission of the IT organization is to deliver services by leveraging assets and data that are the living infrastructure of the business.

Many organizations are looking at IT asset management (ITAM) solutions to ensure that all IT assets are properly discovered, tracked, secured, and disposed of at the end of the asset’s lifecycle.

The cloud native stack, also referred to as the new stack, is composed of the new cloud-independent counterparts of cloud managed services. As enterprises moved to the cloud, they started leveraging cloud managed services such as AWS’ DynamoDB or GCP’s BigQuery. Very convenient, these on-demand services significantly increased developer productivity. Being proprietary, they only work on that specific cloud, however — a significant drawback.
