TI asset management is a fundamental practice for any company that uses technology in its daily operations. It involves recording, monitoring and controlling all of the company's TI assets, including hardware, software, data and related services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, we'll explore the advantages of TI asset management <\/a>and how this practice can help increase your company's efficiency and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The challenge of knowing and managing TI assets<\/p>\n\n\n\n TI assets are all the resources that contribute to a TI service. They can be technological ('software' and hardware) and non-technological (people, environment and processes). <\/p>\n\n\n\n When an automated solution is not used, although possible, the management of TI assets<\/a> <\/strong>is a major challenge for organizations. To better understand the implications of manual control, the first step is to understand what TI assets are and what problems can occur when we have inefficient asset management. The management of TI assets, with a focus on technological assets, ensures that software and hardware are monitored and tracked throughout their entire life cycle. This allows for proper planning of acquisitions, traceability, optimization of use, greater availability and even proper disposal at the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, inadequate management of these assets can result in waste due to inappropriate investments and even expose the company to serious risks, as in the case of improper use of software licenses, in disagreement with the quantities licensed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By automating the TI asset inventory process, your management gains significantly. Check out some of these advantages below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fewer technical problems<\/strong>equipment mapping lets the company know which equipment is in use, where and for how long. In this way, it is possible to know the right time to replace it, thus avoiding technical problems due to wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Control of use<\/strong>By knowing which software is being used on which piece of equipment, it is possible to avoid situations where it is not being used in accordance with the rules of the license. Similarly, the inventory allows you to understand how hardware is used, adjusting usage policies to avoid early degradation due to improper use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Increased service life<\/strong>Inventoried assets are easier to maintain, so care is taken as recommended by the respective manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Better solutions<\/strong>knowing the reality of its assets through a complete and up-to-date inventory allows the company to determine the best solutions for each type of problem involving these assets. This allows, for example, better planning of a software update or the integration of a new type of hardware, such as a new printer model, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Does your company already have a complete and up-to-date inventory? Value your investments in TI and start counting on a inventory system<\/a> that allows you to optimally manage your TI assets.

As well as providing a complete overview of the company's TI resources, TI asset management can help reduce costs, increase information security, ensure regulatory compliance and improve the company's efficiency and productivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It's important to note that TI asset management is not a one-off task, but an ongoing process that requires investment in technology, training and qualified personnel. By implementing and maintaining an effective TI asset management program, a company can reap a number of benefits that can boost its competitiveness and success in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
