Asset Management
Asset management is more than
simply counting workstations and tracking software licenses. It is the
process of reconciling corporate resources and ensuring that your company
takes advantage of their investment. Furthermore, asset management helps
you keep track of software license compliance, manage support contracts,
and track important milestone information such as contract numbers and
expiration dates, compliance checkpoints, and discount levels. Asset
management is not a one-time project, but an ongoing process. Ensure that
your resources are working for the company, that your company is in
compliance with contracts and the law, and that your equipment is properly
utilized.
Once an initial asset management
project has been completed, it must be followed up with proactive
management to ensure resource allocation is optimized for your
organization. The cost of hardware has spiraled downward so quickly that
ongoing asset management often becomes the process of sorting the good
from the bad – removing obsolete machines from production while ensuring
that good hardware is matched with the employees who will properly utilize
it. Asset management does not stand on its own – it is closely tied with
the help desk to identify trouble, with PC support to maintain accuracy,
and with accounting to ensure you are not paying for hardware you are not
utilizing or no longer own.
