Vendor Landscape: IT Asset Management – Enterprise
Automate and get a grip on your asset management spend.
- Automation of asset management can provide significant value, recovering costs from underused licenses and entitlements, and helping organizations weather the considerable expense and hassle of an audit.
- Go in with a strong understanding of your organization’s needs. Some vendors sell their ITAM solutions as part of a larger management suite. Integration is good, but if you don’t need the features, don’t overpay.
- There are benefits to specialization. Some vendors don’t offer as broad a feature set but perform exceptionally well at specific tasks.
- Turn asset management into an ongoing process, not just a once-in-a-while inventory job. Software can greatly simplify this initiative.
