Implement Asset Management for the Small Enterprise

Small-enterprise IT managers struggle with high hardware and software costs, and unplanned outages. The solution in both cases is better asset management, but IT managers often lack the time, resources, and expertise to put in place the necessary tools and processes.

Your Challenge

• Small enterprises lack the time or resources to dedicate to asset management. IT may not have any resources dedicated to asset management, or their resources may be spread too thin. There is often no defined asset management function.
• Failure to track assets leads to unplanned equipment failures. Small-enterprise IT managers never know what is going to break on a given day or which asset will reach end of life or end of support. The ensuing outages damage the credibility of IT.
• It’s difficult to maintain accurate and complete data through manual asset tracking. Using Excel spreadsheets to track hardware and software not only takes a lot of effort, it’s also prone to error and is difficult to maintain.

• The key is to avoid wasting time on building and rebuilding processes that don’t work, and to use vendor contracts and tool automation to put time on your side.
