In order to enact effective Change Management, IT companies cannot arbitrarily make changes to their infrastructure. Decision-makers need to have a clear picture of their assets from summary and detailed perspectives.

Office 365 / SharePoint IT Asset Management Solutions: As you can tell just by looking around, electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets have proliferated nearly to the point of ubiquity. Mass production has hammered down price points, making devices accessible to all levels of society and moving them from luxury items to must-have electronics.

IT Asset Management is no longer just about keeping track of network servers, desktop computers, and peripheral devices. New challenges have risen as technology marches on: Security has become a major necessity, with systems facing threats from both inside and outside the network.

Keeping track of assets is always an important task, but it is particularly critical in the healthcare industry. In addition to the risk of financial loss, keeping track of medical equipment brings a new angle to the story: patient health.

Proper IT asset management requires information. Whether dealing with physical assets or digital properties, you cannot make “informed” decisions without the proper “information”. At Crow Canyon, we provide both perspectives by combining the automated specificity of network discovery tools with the broader management-level views of our SharePoint Asset Management solution.

A wide variety of industries, from hospitals to datacenters, rely on asset management solutions to keep track of both physical and IT assets. The benefits usually far outweigh the costs — examples include asset visibility, reduced manpower, notification of events, reduction in spending, and asset reporting.

Crow Canyon’s IT Asset Management for SharePoint now includes features such as procurement and purchasing, software license management, barcoding, and integration with Lansweeper, SCCM, Dell KACE, and other network discovery tools. These capabilities help IT departments acquire, maintain, and service the critical resources their organizations need to function and grow, while keeping costs under control.
