What Happens When You Can't Access Your Data Center?

During this very unusual time, businesses have had to quickly adjust. As we adjust, we have seen that technology and connectivity have allowed many to work at home and to collaborate online. This has helped with business continuity, but not fully. There are still many tasks that require personnel to go onsite to perform their duties. Due to current conditions, there are many companies who cannot travel to the site where their assets reside.

Here are a few challenges customers have dealt with:

  • When something breaks and we don’t have physical access to locate affected equipment, downtime is extended
  • You need to receive assets but don’t have personnel onsite to do that
  • Moves, Adds, Changes and Decommissions may continue but updates often don’t occur, resulting in outdated information
  • Many employees took laptops and other company equipment needed to work from home and organizations have lost track of many of these assets
  • Reallocation of assets are not as readily available

The current business climate has created a new wrinkle for asset managers when developing business continuity plans. The industry needs a solution that can provide automation and eliminate the need to perform updates or physical audits. Asset Vue currently provides such a solution; providing clients all of their information in real time on-demand.
