- Performing Machinery of Government changes
- Providing pre-configured (including multi-tenant) ITAM technology solutions
- Establishing value-for-money WoVG Deeds of Standing Offer
- Facilitating the movement of IT asset management and IT operations staff within and across departments and agencies
- Sharing asset management people, process and training resources
