IT Asset and Software License Management for Government
The United States has several regulations (FITARA, MEGABYTE, FISMA) which are designed to control IT spend and increase security among the organization's technology. Although only required by federal agencies, cities and counties across the country are also following them as best practice templates for managing IT. Government organizations are turning to IT Asset Management tools, like VIZOR, to help them comply with the regulations.

FISMA
