Controlling Technology Costs and Reducing the Costs of Audits with Comprehensive Asset Management

Asset Management Problem Solving (1)Computing hardware and software are absolutely essential to modern business operations, but managing the costs of those investments are a huge - and growing - challenge. Businesses of all shapes and sizes, in every industry, struggle to plan procurement costs, track and maximize the use of existing assets, and manage obsolescence in the face of increasing demand.

We may wish that there was a magic formula for balancing your IT budget with today’s ever-expanding technology needs. The truth is controlling costs starts and ends with the decisions you and your team make every day as they go about their roles, and the best any organization can do is set those teams up for success.

If there is one magic formula for doing so, it would be to buy complete solutions, not shelf-ware or stand-alone products.

While the tools we select are a crucial part of our ultimate solution, they are most useful when they work within a defined process, and when specific measurable goals and objectives are defined.

No one wants to update asset information, only to have it be outdated in a year or less. The ideal is real-time data for every asset you’d like to track - or need to audit - in your organization. That ideal can be a reality, and with less headaches and for less upfront costs than you might expect.

Stop wasting time and money on incremental asset audits

Audits are time-consuming and tedious, so any IT department's worst-case scenario is needing to conduct incremental audits manually. Trying to assess the location, status, and other vital information about different classes of assets throughout an organization annually, or even quarterly or monthly basis is a huge challenge. And worst of all, knowing as you go through that process that a certain percentage of the data you are gathering is going to be less than completely accurate simply from human error.

Solving for this challenge is why many of our customers turned to Asset Vue in the first place - they needed a way to reduce costs associated with manual audits, wanted to eliminate incremental audits entirely as much as possible, and automate as much of their asset lifecycle processes as possible, even receiving new hardware. It's possible to not only check all of those boxes, we've done it for customers before at a cost that's far lower than the cost savings they've experienced after a full implementation.
