IT departments are under increasing pressure to adapt
to standardized business practices and more effectively demonstrate
the value of IT spending. That’s why it is important to implement
a process to accurately see, monitor and maintain IT assets across
your organization.
To effectively manage your organization's valuable investment in
IT assets you need to know what IT assets you own, where those assets
are, and how they are configured—including mobile systems.
Once you have an accurate picture of the relationship between your
vendor contracts, maintenance agreements and IT assets, you
can use that knowledge to understand how assets are being used—or
perhaps not being used. At this point you can plan software updates
and replacements and negotiate contracts, so you only pay for what
your business really needs.
Scalable Survey: Boost Efficiency and Control Costs With
its advanced IT asset monitoring capabilities, Scalable Survey helps
organizations accurately report on what software is actually in
use—not just what’s installed. And once you know what
software isn’t being used, you can apply that asset intelligence
to recover unused licenses and reduce unnecessary software and service
agreement costs.
Scalable Survey also lets you quickly examine OS and application
data to plan upgrades or migrations, identify security issues and
determine ongoing purchase needs.
With Scalable Survey, you have the IT asset management tools to:
Conduct Asset Audits Provide zero-touch inventory
gathering for all devices throughout an organization. This provides
the fastest and most cost-effective audit for IT software and hardware
assets throughout an organization.
Plan hardware upgrades and refreshes Provide
asset intelligence for hardware inventory, available disk space,
operating systems in use, installed memory, and configuration changes
over time, with multiple graphical reports.
Proactively reduce software license costs Harvest
unused licenses and negotiate license agreements with accurate usage
analysis, compliance analysis, and license utilization reporting.
