Optimizing the Value of IT Assets
|
 |
Business Challenge
Every successful organization needs to deliver high-quality IT services which meet agreed-upon service levels (SLA’s) and have the ability to adapt quickly to changes in your business environment. The goal is to obtain maximum value from its IT assets for the highest possible Return on Investment (ROI). It presents you with the challenge of economically balancing priorities whereby you maximize your day-to-day IT service support and delivery. Effective asset management is a valuable tool which contains detailed data about your current assets, their location, their technology role, their cost, and how they support your business.
Business Needs
Identify, Track, and Prioritize corporate assets that are considered mission-critical assets for business continuity planning.
Distinguish which infrastructure or network assets are currently in use, how often they are used, and which are more prone to problems. Is obsolescence necessary?
Manage Software Compliance to prevent over-purchasing or non-compliance.
Manage Contracts to avoid penalties or duplicate payments for assets that are retired or contracts that have expired.
