IT Asset Management
Running a business almost certainly equates to IT equipment, but how many UK company owners can honestly say they know exactly what IT equipment they manage and its location? What about which users have which devices or when warranties are going to expire?
Improper management of your IT equipment can be time consuming and costly, not to mention posing a risk to the security of your business.
If you couldn’t answer ‘yes’ to the above questions, we recommend outsourced IT Asset management.

IT Asset Management provides you with a comprehensive inventory of your business IT Assets containing full details such as make, model, spec, purchase date, serial numbers, warranty details, and where applicable, location and assigned user.
