When a CFO evaluates a technology investment, the natural focus is often on cost reduction. That's a valid perspective-and one that will always matter-but what if there were a smarter, more impactful way to improve EBITDA? In an exclusive interview, Leandro Silva, CEO of Almaden, argues that technology decisions shouldn't only address the bottom of the income statement. To truly drive business results, leaders must also look at the top-and the key lies in the Employee Digital Experience (DEX)

Almaden has exciting news to make life easier for enterprise employees: AlmaIQ . Unlike other virtual assistants that are complex to set up and maintain, AlmaIQ is simple. Acting like a "concierge" or personal assistant, it answers questions from computer issues to corporate processes, instantly and without complication in the user's native language.

At Almaden, we're often asked by IT leaders: "If we already use Intune, why would we need a DEX solution?" It's a fair question-after all, Intune is widely regarded as a leading tool for device management and security. But the reality is that while Intune plays a critical role in securing and managing endpoints, it doesn't fully address the employee experience, which has become just as important in today's hybrid workplace. Intune's Role: Security and Management Microsoft Intune is designed to ensure that devices are compliant, secure, and properly managed.

Managing IT assets goes far beyond knowing how many devices a company owns. It's about understanding the real value of each asset over time, identifying the right moment for renewal, and, most importantly, turning data into strategic decisions. With that in mind, Almaden has just launched the new Depreciation feature in the Lifecycle module of Collective IQ ITAM- an evolution that takes asset management to the next level by integrating financial control, governance, and operational efficiency in a single platform.
