Asset Manager allows a company to audit all of its fixed assets the way that they want. From the very core building blocks of the data, the Asset Definitions, through to the final connections between each Inventory Item, all aspects of the solution are dynamic and user defined giving total flexibility to the user to create whatever their requirements dictate.
Business Need
Tracking assets is an important concern of every company, regardless of size. Fixed assets are defined as any 'permanent' object that a business uses internally including but not limited to computers, tools, software, or office equipment.
While employees may utilize a specific tool or tools, the asset ultimately belongs to the company and must be monitored. Without an accurate method of keeping track of these assets it would be very easy for a company to lose control of them.
Fixed Asset Management is an accounting process that seeks to track fixed assets for the purposes of financial accounting, preventative maintenance and theft deterrence.
Many organizations face a significant challenge to track the location, quantity, condition, maintenance status and depreciation status of their fixed assets. With the right software tracking fixed assets is easy and can be made even easier utilizing the latest available technology. For example the use of a serial numbered Asset Tag, often with a bar code for easy and accurate reading. The owner of the assets can then take inventory with a mobile barcode reader in order to produce reports or make important decisions.
A further need that can be addressed is that of Asset inter-dependency. Mainly in IT Systems but not exclusively the Assets have relationships between them that create dependencies meaning that the loss of a specific Asset has an impact on one or more other Assets. By mapping the relationship between each Asset we are able to quantify the Impact of such a failure either pro-actively or in response to an emergency to find a solution.
Intelli has developed a complete solution for the management of Fixed Assets which can be used by companies or organizations of any size allowing those responsible to at last take control of the Assets and not the opposite.
Asset Manager was designed to help solve the huge problem currently being faced by very many companies who have suddenly realized that they have a large number of “fixed assets”, sometimes worth a lot more money than they might imagine, and they have no way of quickly identifying where these assets are, what purpose or service they are currently serving and anything else that they might want to know about the specific Asset.
One of the fastest growing Asset Groups is that of IT Assets but the term “Asset” and the Asset Manager solution can be used to audit and track any type of Asset imaginable, from Educational Materials to Tools, from Vehicles to Videos, basically anything that is a Fixed Asset.
