Software & Hardware Asset Management
Asset and inventory management within organisations are becoming more important as IT environments are growing in complexity and size. With this comes the need for expensive hardware and software purchases, upgrades and support to effectively deal with a large range of business applications. At the same time, licensing obligations are becoming increasingly more complex and confusing.
It is of paramount importance for companies to keep in mind that corporate changes in information technology must not interfere with regulatory compliance such as defined by the Financial Services Authority, and Data Protection regulations. These factors collectively increase the demands placed on reliable asset management solutions.
Our clients have benefited in numerous ways from our consultancy services:
- Implementation of numerous asset discovery tools to build and maintain an asset database. Businesses have differing sources of data, and directory services such as Active Directory which often contain vast amounts of useful information. Pulling this data together into a central repository adds significant value in the management of an estate.
- Reporting on differences between sources of asset data can be an extremely useful way of determining which assets are no longer being used, not seen on the network, don't have the latest services packs, or contain software that shouldn't be installed so that cleanup activities can be undertaken. This has also reduced support costs by correctly managing decommissioned assets.
- Management of business applications and associations between IT infrastructure and applications provides valuable information in the event of hardware failure. Quickly identifying the areas of a business impacted by a fault can be used to determine repair priority, notifications to users, and generally help with making sure that service levels are met.
With Integrity Software Solutions' design and implementation approach, the solution is tailored to meet your requirements and environment, to provide management information and decision making power that is needed to reduce overall expenditure, increase compliance, and maximize profits.
