ITAM
Use the potential of assets, save time and money
and ensure compliance!
What is IT asset management?
IT asset management (ITAM) is an alternative term for IT asset management. ITAM includes the management and documentation of all software and hardware assets of a company as well as their relationship to each other and interdependence. In addition, it provides information on decisions regarding a purchase or an investment, contributions to the definition and continuous improvement of IT strategies and to improve the use of assets.
In order to be able to make forward-looking tactical and strategic decisions, the life cycle of an asset should be reflected.
ITAM gives you an up-to-date overview of all IT assets at all times, and it becomes clear when and how which asset needs to be maintained, updated or replaced, for example, since everything is collected in a database. This allows better planning of the required budget, acquisitions and support and reduces downtime.
What advantages do ITAM tools offer?
- Optimization of IT processes
- Improving operational efficiency
- More efficient use of limited resources
- Creation of compliance
- Display of current usage and availability
- Increased governance associated with the service desk
- Improving control over the IT environment
- Preventive problem avoidance
- Cost reduction
- Faster deployment and more overview
ITAM gives you an overview of your assets at all times. In this way, all assets can be monitored, checked, updated, improved or improved and secured.
ITAM provides information about which assets are used how and where by your employees and which are used less. In this way, unnecessary purchases are avoided. In addition, ITAM can save maintenance, support, license and other costs and thus reduce the TCO.
You have an overview of official, contractual and legal obligations. For example, you have an overview of all licenses and can manage them and, if necessary, extend or terminate them in good time. Especially if you are subject to regular audits, this overview can be a secret weapon.
You can view and track the lifecycle and usage of assets over time. This gives you information and data to make decisions about operational requirements and strategic business decisions.
Development of a holistic IT asset management:
The structure of an IT asset management must follow certain rules. It is important to complete the individual phases one after the other on the way to a fully integrated IT management concept and not to take the second or third step before the first.
- Creation of a consolidated inventory database: Cleansing, localization and recording of the actual inventory of all IT values, automatic Inventory and labeling of assets
- IT asset management: linking of assets with organizational information, commercial data, costs and contracts in an ITAM database
- Software License Management according to the specifications for software asset management (SAM) including the development of an individual software catalog taking into account various metrics and license models
- Documentation and historical management of IT assets in relation to movements in the organization and cost development from procurement to disposal (IT lifecycle)
- Supplement to the CMDB (Configuration Management Database) as the basis for holistic IT management
- Successive integration of further IT management processes such as purchasing (procurement), sales (sales), Helpdesk, service management, Software deployment (deployment), personnel (human resources) and supply chain management
- Service allocation (internal invoicing) of all services of the IT department and presentation of the value contribution of IT to the company's success
Asset.Desk
Asset.Desk can be much more than a classic tool for IT scanning, inventory and IT asset management. It combines technical, organizational, security-related and commercial information on all company values in one system. It has a modular structure in order to adapt to the current requirements of a company and can be easily expanded at any time as requirements change.
The basis for organized IT asset management is the inventory of all hardware and software data in the company, whether physical, virtual, mobile or in the cloud, as well as all other assets. Accompany your assets over the entire lifecycle, form licenses and contracts in Asset.Desk and add information such as "risk class", "protection status" or "GDPR relevance".
