1. IT Asset Management and IT Asset Disposal Synergies in Asset
Life Cycle Management - A SaaS Play
IT Asset Management (ITAM) software solutions are varied and highly fragmented in the overall
market from the smallest Business Owner to the Enterprise Corporation, yet they all have a
common intent of maximizing the performance and utilization of IT Assets, while monitoring for
potential threats. It is a proactive approach to ensure the company’s capital expenditures are
returning the best possible ROI from point of acquisition through the useful deployment life
cycle of the asset.
ITAM solutions begin with an Asset Profiler that allows the IT Manager to record the “birth” of
the asset into the company network of assets. This profiler will then proactively monitor the
changes to that asset as it evolves and goes through upgrades and maintenance. This is
business intelligence that enables the IT Manager to remain in control of the network and strive
for that .9999 uptime.
That same proactive approach to maximizing ROI on capital expenditure naturally extends to IT
Asset Disposition (ITAD). In fact, in today’s economy, it is necessary to have the business
intelligence for planning the decommission of your assets based on current remarket values,
technology refresh roadmaps and ability to supplement capital expenditure budgets for
acquisition of new assets. The data required to do this already resides in your ITAM database.
It simply needs to be looked at from an ITAD perspective, and managed with equally powerful
and easy to use tools to support your business models and decision making.
