IT Asset Management

Very often, IT assets are an important part of the total assets of a business, so knowing what you have, and the value of it, is important from an accounting point of view. Asset management, however, is important for many more reasons. It brings together financial, inventory, contractual and risk management responsibilities and allows businesses to manage the overall life cycle of these assets.

Asset information is used to inform decisions about purchases and how assets are deployed – ensuring that they are cascaded through the company effectively to avoid unnecessary purchases. Less obvious benefits include the risks and costs of developing systems on unsuitable hardware or infrastructure, or raising the risk of system failures, with all the associated costs.

We can help you build and maintain a detailed hardware and software inventory and then proactively manage these to optimise asset lifecycles and inform strategic decisions. We will also actively manage and control software assets to ensure that all software in use within the organisation is properly paid for and in compliance with licencing agreements.
