Columbus, Ohio-based Redemtech, a provider of Technology Change Management (TCM) services, has announced the hiring of Barbara Scott to head its new IT Asset Management consulting practice.

Redemtech’s consulting practice is designed to provide assessment and consulting services to improve efficiencies and to address vulnerabilities in asset management practices and it helps organizations implement measurable processes that close security gaps and increase asset management practices.

"Many companies invest millions in technology, but lack the processes to track those assets through their life cycle and collect the data required to analyze utilization and cost ownership," says Bob Houghton, president of Redemtech. "Under the direction of Barbara Scott, we are able to offer a proven method of assessing asset management practices and implementing processes that enable more effective use of technology and greater cost control."

Scott joins Redemtech from a Fortune 200 financial services company where she served as a senior manager for technology operations and established the foundation for a global IT asset management program. She also has served in technology and business leadership positions for Data Return, Corporate Express and United Electric.

Scott received IT Asset Management Certification from the International Association of IT Asset Managers, based in Suffield, Ohio.

"IT Asset Management is just emerging as a core management practice and that creates huge opportunities to improve efficiency, with corresponding reduction costs," Scott says. "Redemtech’s strong, consultative relationship with clients and mature, measurable processes for managing IT change create the ideal business partner for companies looking to bring more discipline, standardization and accountability to IT asset management functions enterprisewide," she adds.
