i-Vertix IT Asset Management for smart working

Lately we have been talking quite a lot about how the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic brought digitalization to pick up an even greater speed. As we all experienced, companies are suddenly faced with new challenges associated with smart working and home office.

In order to enable employees to work flexibly and from anywhere, it is fundamental to implement new technologies into daily work. For this purpose, hardware, software and licenses are not always located in the physical local company network. This naturally increases the organizational effort and the complexity of the tracking process of both hardware and software as well as their licenses and contracts from a central location.

The best way to minimise the required effort is to rely on an ITAM software.

What does asset management mean?

As Wikipedia sais, the Asset Management refers to a systematic approach to the governance and realization of value from the things that a group or entity is responsible for, over their whole life cycles. It is a systematic process of developing, operatining, maintaining, upgrading and disposing of assets in the most cost-effective manner.

Sounds complicated, right? Let’s make it easier: with i-Vertix IT Asset Management & Inventory your IT assets are automatically detected, tracked, updated and categorized. You can finally get an overview of your hardware and software and identify your exact licenses requirements, optimizing costs and resources.

To simplify this even more, with i-Vertix ITAM you get a complete picture of which assets are being used and where, who is using them and how your assets are changing over time.
