Management
The IT assets across
your enterprise have
something very
valuable to tell
you, but no one
wants to listen to
them. Mainly because
we don’t give them
the attention they
deserve because we
are too involved
supporting our
company’s primary
business functions.
Given the ubiquitous
and growing
dependence on IT
assets to facilitate
our daily business;
substantial decision
making information
can be extracted and
leveraged to
exponentially affect
the bottom line.
Let us discuss the
readily available
and quickly
redeemable
opportunities that
organizations can
take advantage of to
reduce liability,
save substantial
costs, and drive
business
decisions... Gartner
research estimated
that the total cost
of ownership (TCO)
for the average
networked PC was
$13,000 annually;
most organizations
could save 26
percent, or $3,100
per desktop, by
employing best
practices in IT
Asset Management.
For organizations
with substantial
investment in IT
assets, 26 percent
savings can be
staggering. Most
companies do not
know where to begin,
and cannot quantify
the most basic asset
lifecycle costs.
When the following
questions are
pondered, and there
is not an answer
available, then it
may be time to have
a conversation with
360, Inc.:
|
• |
What is the total
cost of owning our
desktop PCs,
laptops, and PDAs?
|
|
• |
Are all of our
assets deployed
where they do the
most good? |
|
• |
Are we paying
licensing fees for
software we do not
use? |
|
• |
How much can we
lower our costs, if
our software was
managed more
carefully? |
|
• |
Are all of our
licenses up to date? |
|
• |
How can we extract
information about
our assets to assist
in future contract
negotiations? |
|
• |
Can we identify
which hardware
assets require more
maintenance than
others to keep
service costs down? |
|
• |
How can we quantify
our IT Assets to
provide clarity to
the Finance Dept for
financial compliance
reporting? |
|
• |
Could we pass a
software compliance
audit from
Microsoft, Adobe,
etc.? |
|
• |
Do we have an
enterprise wide
policy in place for
the retirement of
our IT Assets? |
The ramifications of
not implementing E-ITAM
as an internal
business discipline
introduce a number
of non-compliance
vulnerabilities and
unnecessary spending
that usually goes
undetected.
