We proudly present: integration with Reserva.

Asset.Desk-Version 8.10.6 we present the integration of our asset management all-rounder with our brand new reservation portal Reserva.

What is Reserva?
Reserva is a web-based and intuitive reservation portal and lending system. Employees in the company or external customers can use it to independently reserve and borrow items/resources that are available for borrowing in the company. It doesn't matter whether it's laptops, beamers, flipcharts, cameras or cars. Rooms can also be used Reserva Reservations. Reserva thus makes reserving and borrowing simple, comprehensible and efficient.

End-to-end process with Asset.Desk:

Reserva offers a REST based API for integration with third party systems.

Asset.Desk is complete with Reserva integrated via the API interface and offers the benchmark in terms of API integration with inventory solutions. Shared objects and rooms are accessed via this API Reserva hand over. Likewise, the primary and secondary properties (attributes) per object and room type that are to be displayed. Conversely, the (approved) reservations can be called up via the API in order to then be in Asset.Desk carry out the actual physical handover and return.

In a nutshell: In Asset.Desk you can make settings, define properties, release assets and rooms and always get a complete overview. In Reserva the actual reservation process then runs itself.

So feed them Reserva out with the data Asset.Desk.

Office 365 Add-ons / Skype for Business Plus CALs 

A quarter of Germans are currently working from home due to Corona. There is some evidence that both employees and employers have embraced the flexibility of everyday office life - and that the trend towards (at least part-time) working from home will continue.

Anyone who relied on communication solutions such as Skype for Business or Microsoft Teams early on now has an advantage.

In order to keep track of these or similar add-on licenses from Microsoft, the Cloud Scanner for Office 365 has been expanded. In addition to the Office 365 basic plan, the chargeable add-on license plans can now also be called up. The add-ons include, for example, the Skype for Business Plus CALs.
From now on, the registered user accounts are also listed for the add-on license plan, so that they can then be Asset.Desk to carry out the exact license assignment on this basis.
