"As technology has matured, so too has the overall climate in which businesses operate. In response to the rapid evolution of technology during the past several years, organisations' IT infrastructures, vendors' business strategies and government bodies' expectations have undergone significant changes. As the value, risks and accountability for IT assets have risen on many organisations' strategic priority lists, so too has the need  for industry-accepted best practices for dealing with those assets."
