Automate the IT Asset Management Solution
Automated tools mean you won’t have to manage your Assets off!
Your Challenge
- Any IT environment with more than 250 assets will experience challenges in tracking inventory and keeping it current if they are using spreadsheets.
- Building an accurate inventory of IT assets can be a massive challenge, especially as these assets often experience changes.
- Most of the benefits of a mature asset management practice are based on three components: People, Process, and Technology. Without automated discovery tools in place, benefits are nominal.
Our Advice
Critical Insight- Software asset management benefits of up to 30% savings and high compliance are nearly impossible to reach if tools are not in place to understand software usage and installation data.
- Hardware asset management benefits, such as lifecycle management, lease returns, reduction of lost equipment and upgrade readiness assessments are time consuming and often inaccurate when tracked manually.
- Automating the inventory process provides a depth of information that is unparalleled through manual processes and can be integrated into systems management and service management tools for greater access to information and better use of data.
Automating the asset management process enables:
- Enormous efficiencies in accurate data discovery.
- Consolidation of information between inventory, licenses and contracts and better tracking of renewals and lease expiry.
- Integration between asset, contract, and service management departments for better reporting and metrics.
