IT Asset Management (ITAM) is a type of business management that’s directly connected to your organization’s IT infrastructure. It is a set of business processes designed to manage the lifecycle and inventory of an organization’s IT assets.
An IT asset is any company-owned information, system, or hardware. It is used in the course of business activities such as a laptop, printer, WiFi router, installed applications, software licenses, and more. The main types of IT assets are software, hardware, and cloud assets.
IT asset management provides the baseline for risk assessment and control. Without ITAM do you really know enough about your IT assets to understand your risk exposure and how best to mitigate it? Does every vulnerability require the same level of attention? Effective ITAM gives IT managers a better handle on assessing an organization’s risk exposure, set mitigation priorities, and assign actions to the best resources to respond.
The IT asset lifecycle is the sequence of stages that an organization’s information technology asset goes through during the time span of its ownership. Beginning with requesting, planning and procurement to provisioning and deployment, maintenance, monitoring and upgrade, and, then, IT asset disposition.
The IT asset management process involves gathering a detailed inventory of an organization’s compute and network hardware plus operating system and installed software assets. This information can help you make informed business decisions about IT-related purchases and redistribution.
IT inventory and discovery go hand in hand for effective IT asset management. Inventory is usually a collection of managed assets such as a laptop, printer or server. You may also have an inventory of enterprise software entitlements. But without discovery, how do you tie the hardware and software together? How do you inventory other virtual assets such as VM’s and cloud resources? That’s where iscovery comes in. A sophisticated discovery tool like Virima’s IT Asset Discovery will scan your entire IT environment, both on-premise and cloud to automatically detect hardware assets and their software such as operating systems and patches, installed software versions and license keys. Discovery can be scheduled for set and forget recurring scans so your IT asset inventory is kept up to date and reliable. Virima Discovery accomplishes this in hours, not weeks and months with manual inventorying.
