If You’ve Sunk Thousands Into Your IT, PC Asset Tracking Should be Your Next Investment
You’ve invested thousands of dollars in your information technology equipment – and that’s why a powerful, yet simple to use PC asset tracking system is the next investment you should make.
The larger the organization, the larger the task. You’ve got PCs and other IT equipment distributed throughout your company, and each of them must be tracked and managed for a multitude of reasons: maintenance, insurance, accounting and compliance, to name only a few. A good PC asset tracking system allows you to make informed decisions about the allocation of your IT assets, protecting your bottom line and equipping your employees with the tools they need for success.
When companies first start out, they may rely on an Excel spreadsheet to track their IT and other assets. That may work in the early days, but as organizations continue to grow, and the volume of data they have to manage increases, those manual spreadsheets become downright difficult and error-prone. IT assets are often on the move, changing hands among employees. That information alone is tough enough to track as your company grows. But that’s just the beginning of the challenge. Each one of those assets is tied to a service contract, has a unique maintenance history and specific lease/purchase and insurance information. And every asset’s depreciation figures must be reported for accounting and compliance purposes each year. Asset data is fluid and ever-changing, while an Excel spreadsheet is static.
And, of course, when you’re dealing with humans, errors are going to happen. Typing in a large volume of data is a risky proposition. You’re going to have typos, missed assets, duplication of effort, guesswork and the occasional asset that gets lost in the cracks. Perhaps even more consequential, your employees are going to waste time searching for assets, a time-sucking activity which increases frustration and decreases productivity. As if this weren’t concerning enough, the inherent inefficiency of manual record-keeping can even result in your continuing to pay insurance for assets you don’t have in your inventory anymore. An asset may have been long ago stolen or missing, and you’re continuing to pay for it. Worse yet, that missing asset puts the security of your data at risk.
If you’re on the lookout for PC asset tracking software to get your systems up to speed, how do you determine which product is best for your needs? A lot of these software solutions sound great on paper, but their features, flexibility, user-friendliness and price point may not make them a good fit for your needs. What you need is a product that’s not only powerful, customizable and simple, but also flexible enough to incorporate new technologies as they become available – because let’s face it: Technology isn’t slowing down. You need a solution you can stick with long into the future.
