As your organization grows over time, it’s only natural to continually make workplace modernization a point of emphasis in IT. There are a multitude of reasons why. For starters, better technology makes your people more productive, helps them accomplish more each day, and ultimately makes your business more successful. It also keeps employees engaged – better IT leads to a more pleasant experience at work each day, which translates to a happier workforce overall.
There is a downside here, though. The larger your organization gets, the harder it becomes to manage everything. Before long, you may find the number of IT assets in your organization to be multiplying uncontrollably. This is especially worrisome when you have people working remotely – you’re bound to have some devices at the office, others in people’s homes, and so forth. Things can start to get out of control in a hurry. Because of this, it’s not a stretch to say the quality of the asset management you practice can make or break your organization.
When your asset management is done right, it can be a difference maker. Effective management can help you track the performance of your IT and use that information to help your finance team make budget plans. When you have a true asset management solution, all of your tangible and intangible assets are tracked, and you have real-time access to everything from IP addresses to device locations to pricing, warranty, and vendor details.
There’s an intrinsic link in business between asset management and financial health. Knowing the state of your IT is crucial for being able to coordinate your budget and know where your organization stands. If you’re negligent when it comes to asset management, it can jeopardize your ability to do everything from identifying faulty assets to predicting future expenses. Additionally, you should be able to calculate the shelf life and depreciation of your assets; otherwise, you risk being caught off guard by changing IT asset needs.
