Why Choose AssetAware
AssetAware gives you the flexibility to manage all your offline IT assets through various workflows, while simultaneously providing you the security to account for every single asset. By automating your workflows in AssetAware, your company will have a closed loop IT asset disposition process.
Any offline workflow: Destruction, Onboarding, Recycling, Legal Holds, Reselling, etc.
Any offline asset: Hard drives, laptops, switches, USB drives, tablets, etc.
Why Be So Concerned About End of Life?
Most companies don’t afford the same levels of security to offline assets as they do when the assets are online. AssetAware’s closed-loop process provides end-to-end management and security of offline IT assets.
Manual management – through spreadsheets, or relying on a combination of your ITAM solution and offsite vendor – make it nearly impossible to guarantee 100% of offline assets are accounted for and sensitive data doesn’t get lost or stolen.
Without automated offline IT asset management, you also leave yourself susceptible to:
Risks
- Security Breach due to Loss, Misplaced, or Mismanaged Asset
- Failure to Pass Compliance Audits
- Unable to Verify Chain of Custody
- Unable to Validate Destruction / Disposal
- Lack of Standard Process Across Organization
*These risks often result in fines, negative exposure for your company, and litigation expenses
Costs
- Increased Administrative Costs for Manual Processes
- Lost Time Responding to Audits
- Lost Time in Training and Lack of Transfer of Knowledge
- Lost Time in Maintaining Homegrown Solutions
- Overspending Due to Charges for Late Returns
Lack of Centralized Records
- Unable to Quickly Locate Assets
- Lack of Visibility into the Process
- Unable to Determine if Assets are Ready for Destruction
- Lack of Global Roll Up Reporting for Audit and Management
How do you eliminate these risks and avoid excess costs? Use AssetAware to track, move, and protect offline IT assets!
