IT Asset Management

IT Asset Management can provide significant benefits to small and midsize businesses, while simultaneously making life better and more productive for IT workers. By automating routine but time-consuming maintenance and administrative work, IT Asset Management can free tech staffers to pursue more strategic, revenue-generating projects.

While many smaller companies still manage their devices manually, the increasing numbers of desktop and laptop PCs, servers, networked attached storage devices, networked printers, and other IP devices finding homes in all kinds of organizations poses an ongoing challenge.

In addition to managing the actual devices, the software applications that run on these devices need to be patched, updated, and tracked. Making things even more difficult, these IP devices may be distributed in remote offices and other outside-the-firewall environments.

IT Asset Management establishes automated processes for tracking these devices, including regular polling to ensure compliance with company policies.

Despite these benefits, it can be difficult to build a business case for any technology investment in today's struggling economy. And justifying asset management poses a particular problem in that its benefits are often tied to savings from unbudgeted IT support and maintenance expenses. That makes calculating the return on investment much more complex.

This unique slide show -- and the bMighty IT Asset Management Business Case Builder that goes with it -- is designed to help you identify those hidden costs and make the business benefits clear " especially to your company's senior management.
