Components of a 'Unified' Solution 

Tie Procurement, Tracked Assets and SLA's by Intelligent Matching in One Database

Asset Insight and Enterprise Insight have been recognised as the ‘de facto standard’ in electronic audit and asset management tools, in fact, of the Fortune 100 companies in the USA, 25 currently use our products. Our unified IT Asset Management solutions enable low cost, efficient management of IT assets through the asset lifecycle, from procurement to disposal.   To be successful a 'unified' solution needs to tie procurement to services level agreements. This enables an organisation to maximise the potential of each individual asset. IT Tracking ensures assets are on hand, working efficiently and in compliance with vendors requirements. As networks become subject to greater internal and external pressures policies need to be implemented to remove risks caused by unauthorised use by employees of IT infrastructure, for example, downloading items from the internet.
