The ITAM module will also be leveraged to undertake a Technical Discovery Project in Q4 2021.  As such we require someone who has strong experience to come in and assess the current set up and configuration, identify opportunities for ensuring ITAM CMDB is the ‘single source of truth’ by feeding in data from various sources (i.e. Qualys; local SCCM etc).  The successful candidate will lead two business analysts / data mappers (hardware & software) to undertake this effort and will work closely with the chosen SI who will undertake the Discovery analysis.
