The Value of End-of-Life Data
One of the basic benefits of IT Asset Management (ITAM) is gaining an understanding of the hardware and software components that make up your environment.
Better Business Decisions or the Wild West Effect?
Better Business Decisions or the Wild West Effect?
When managing computer hardware assets, it’s critical to have controls in place and access to accurate data on the status of your assets. This enables you to make the best business decisions on how to manage them…otherwise, you can end up with chaos, or the Wild West effect.
Data Normalization
Is Your Discovery Data Good Enough?
Effective Software Asset Management (SAM) begins with the collection of data – data on your IT hardware and software assets as well as specific attributes about them. Ideally, this raw data is collected via an automated discovery tool and then fed into a normalization engine that transforms the data into software license titles. The normalization process can be done through a SAM tool or manually…regardless of how it is accomplished, the discovery data needs to be complete and accurate in order to gain the most value from your SAM program.
