Ivanti Ditches the Instructional Manual with Asset Manager Essentials, and So Can You!
We’ve all been there. Trying to piece together cumbersome parts of furniture in vain. You could’ve sworn piece A attached to piece B, or should that screw have gone into that leg? You’re ready to rip the instruction manual to pieces or give up – leaving you with a poorly built, frustrating chair (who needs to sit on it anyway, right?)
Much like building big box store furniture, IT Asset Management can be equally complex, costly, and time-consuming. And what’s more, to get the most out of any IT Asset Management solution, you should be able to do three things:
- Know what assets you have and where they reside
- Track contracts and regulatory compliance
- Understand your cost of ownership
Tracking assets using manual, outdated processes is an administrative nightmare, much like your chair is a hazard.
