Choosing the Best Free IT Asset Management Software for Your Organization

Finding a good free IT asset management software product is a smart plan for any organization, but you’ll want to read the fine print before you commit. Some products require additional hardware to use – for example, separate handheld barcode scanners, which are not only expensive, but also require periodic maintenance and, ultimately, replacement. If you’ve got an eye on your budget, the price point for these scanners can limit how many stakeholders you bring into your asset tracking process. And, when it comes to asset tracking, the more stakeholders you can involve, the better. IT assets are likely one of the biggest investments you’ll make. From a financial and productivity standpoint, you can’t afford to be in the dark about the whereabouts or condition of your IT equipment.

Another point to consider: How easy is the software to use? If you’re aiming to bring multiple employees into the asset tracking process – and they each have their own respective levels of technical proficiency – you want asset management software that’s simple and intuitive. If it’s too difficult to translate, your employees won’t use it, period. And, although you want the software to be easy to understand, you also want it to be powerful and flexible. Your software should be capable of tracking and managing rich data about your IT assets. You should be able to organize, customize, share and display that data exactly how you want – in the way that makes the most sense for your business. Further, you should be able to access that data anytime, day or night, with the assurance that you’re seeing real-time, accurate data on which you can depend.
