The SIE Group Celebrates Two ITAM Excellence Award Finalists
Exciting news from the ITAM Forum: two exceptional members of The SIE Group team have been named finalists for the prestigious 2025 ITAM Excellence Awards. Latoya Taylor earned recognition as a finalist for ITAM Consultant of the Year, while Katherine (Kate) Caruso was selected as a Rising Star finalist for North America.
This year's competition drew more than 100 entries from around the globe, making these selections particularly meaningful. The recognition validates what we witness daily—both professionals bring exceptional dedication to helping government agencies build robust, compliant asset management programs.
Excellence in Government ITAM Practice
The ITAM Excellence Awards recognize professionals who don't just understand theory, but deliver measurable results in complex environments. Government agencies face unique challenges where security protocols, budget constraints, and mission-critical operations intersect. Success requires translating technical requirements into practical solutions that work within these realities.
Latoya Taylor, Finalist, ITAM Consultant of the Year
Kate Caruso, Finalist, ITAM Rising Star
Kate's Rising Star selection highlights innovative thinking in asset management. Her fresh perspective on leveraging modern tools and methodologies helps agencies modernize their approaches while meeting established governance standards.
Industry Leadership in Action
This recognition reinforces our commitment to advancing the broader ITAM community. When team members earn industry acclaim, it benefits everyone we serve—ensuring our clients work with professionals actively engaged in pushing the field forward.
Government IT environments continue evolving rapidly. New technologies, shifting security requirements, and changing procurement processes create ongoing challenges. Having team members recognized at this level positions us to help agencies navigate whatever emerges next, whether it's AI governance, cloud asset management, or evolving cybersecurity mandates.
The Path Forward
The winners will be announced November 6, 2025, at the awards ceremony in Newbury, Berkshire. Regardless of final results, we're proud of both finalists and energized by this validation of our approach.
Every day, we see agencies transforming their technology management practices, freeing up resources for mission-critical initiatives, and building stronger compliance postures. This recognition belongs not just to Latoya and Katherine, but to the entire community working to advance effective asset management in government environments.
Congratulations to both finalists. Your expertise makes a difference, and this recognition is well-deserved.
