* The capability blueprint is a framework that helps organizations assess their current and desired state of hardware asset management maturity.
* The capability blueprint consists of five tiers, each representing a different level of capability and value.
* The five tiers are:
* Trustworthy data: The foundation of hardware asset management, ensuring data accuracy, completeness, and consistency.
* Practical management: The basic level of hardware asset management, enabling visibility, control, and compliance of hardware assets.
* Operational integration: The intermediate level of hardware asset management, enhancing efficiency, effectiveness, and collaboration of hardware asset processes.
* Strategic conformance: The advanced level of hardware asset management, achieving best-in-class performance, optimization, and alignment of hardware assets with business goals.
* Business transformation: The ultimate level of hardware asset management, enabling innovation, agility, and competitive advantage through hardware asset management.
* The tier that focuses on achieving best-in-class is the strategic conformance tier, which aims to optimize the cost, quality, and value of hardware assets, as well as align them with the business strategy and objectives. References:
