PORTFOLIO: Establishing a current and complete IT asset portfolio
What IT assets do we have? Where are they? Who has access? Answering these questions is the first step to more effective IT asset management.
AssetCenter Portfolio collects asset-related information from across the organsation and then feeds it into a centralised, federated repository. The portfolio can be populated with source data from procurement, automated asset discovery software tools, and manual entries from physical inventories, providing a consolidated, detailed view of all hardware, software, network devices, configurations, connectivity, relationships, locations, users, managers, cost centers, and contract terms.
COMPREHENSIVE WORKFLOW ENGINE
AssetCenter Portfolio provides a powerful workflow engine that defines and manages the complex relationships between assets, contracts, and costs. With built-in procedures designed for users in many departments (including IT, finance, and procurement), AssetCenter enables you to quickly implement repeatable, documented processes based on industry best practices.
THE FOUNDATION FOR GOVERNANCE AND COMPLIANCE
The modern IT infrastructure is the backbone of an organisations financial reporting systems, and also supports virtually every employee, business process, and transaction. So it's no coincidence that IT is where many companies spend a big percentage of their budgets - making effective IT asset management a key priority. In addition, new government regulations demand greater fiscal accountability, with clear audit trails, full process documentation, and timely financial reports. More than ever, meeting these challenges is an IT issue.
AssetCenter Portfolio makes it easy to document and demonstrate controls and procedures that support fixed asset reconciliation (with accurate depictions of expensed and capitalized assets), change and risk management, security and other compliance issues.
