IT Asset Management (ITAM)


A comprehensive and highly accurate physical inventory of equipment is the foundation of any successful ITAM program.

Trustworthy inventory information is fundamental to a successful IT management practice. A physical inventory provides additional data beyond traditional auto-discovery techniques by identifying inactive or non-connected equipment, as well as specific location information.

Achieving 100% availability, reliability, and maintainability of an ITAM program requires the right building blocks—the IT assets of the business it services. It is essential that these IT assets are meticulously managed and tracked throughout their lifecycle. An accurate inventory forms the foundation and sets the baseline of a solid ITAM program. This baseline starts with a comprehensive and accurate wall-to-wall physical inventory.

Benefits of a wall-to-wall Inventory:

  • Establish a baseline
  • Centralize IT asset data through integration into an existing CMDB
  • Reconcile what you believe you have on-hand with what is physically identified
  • Mitigate potential security or compliance breaches
  • Helps with disaster and business continuity planning
  • Optimize performance and utilization of each asset
  • Identify equipment for redeployment or disposition
  • Plan for future purchases
  • Account for inactive or disconnected equipment that auto-discovery tools are unable to locate
