Provisioning Solution for SMB – Your assistance in IT assets management
Knowing the location, number, and type of hardware and software assets is vital to effective asset management and a key component of responsiveness. Traditional inventory data collection requires members of the IT staff to physically visit the assets and manually compile an inventory. The same is true of software distribution. Deploying server software or end-user applications usually means the dedication of IT resources and the interruption of end user productivity while the changes are made. It only gets worse as organizations grow, expanding to include multiple locations or distributed field employees. How can small and mid-size businesses with limited IT budgets keep pace with the market and leverage that agility to compete against larger companies?

* Fines or potential fines for software licensing violations
* Difficulty purchasing the right number of assets (buy too few or too many)

* Increasing amount of IT time dedicated to inventory and asset management as the company grows.
