Asset Management

WHAT IS ASSET MANAGEMENT?

Asset management is the comprehensive process of systematically managing an organization’s IT assets throughout their entire lifecycle, ensuring they are accurately tracked, properly utilized, maintained, and appropriately retired or disposed of at the end of their useful life. This involves creating and maintaining a detailed inventory of all IT assets, which serves as a central repository or "source of truth" for crucial information such as asset ownership, location, configuration, and other necessary details. The purpose of this inventory is to support effective decision-making and ensure compliance with the organization's policies and standards.

OBJECTIVE

The primary goal of asset management is to guarantee that all IT assets within the organization are monitored, recorded, and managed in accordance with established Asset Management Policies and Standards. This helps to ensure optimal use of resources, minimize risks associated with asset obsolescence or misuse, and maintain a secure and efficient IT environment.
