All-round tool for asset lifecycle management, IT scanning, inventory, license management, contract management and much more.

Asset.Desk can be much more than a classic tool for IT scanning, inventory and asset management. It combines technical, organizational, security-related and commercial information on all company assets in one system. It has a modular structure in order to adapt to the current requirements of a company and to be easily expanded at any time in the event of changes.

The basis for successful IT asset management is the inventory of all hardware and software data in the company, whether physical, virtual, mobile or in the cloud. Intelligent scanners automatically read the required data from the relevant platforms, operating systems and active directories and arrange them in the system. They supplement commercial data or, for example, information on security, risk, protection status or GDPR. If necessary, enter all other assets in the system that you want to manage. Join your assets over the complete life cycle, from purchasing to disposal, form you Licenses and Contracts in Asset.Desk and create transparency in inventory and costs.
