IT Hardware Asset Management from the 30,000-Foot View

IT Hardware Asset Management, or ITAM, is an essential service for any modern business. While small businesses can often self-manage their investment in IT hardware, mid-sized and larger companies with more than 1,000 employees face more complex challenges in this arena.

What is IT Hardware Asset Management?

IT hardware asset management encompasses all of the processes and practices necessary to ensure that company assets are thoroughly inventoried, tracked, and secured throughout their lifecycle.

ITAM begins when a piece of hardware is new before an employee takes possession of it and continues through to ITAD, ensuring that data is properly destroyed and maximum value is recovered.

Where is the Value in Contracting an IT Hardware Asset Manager?

The value a HIPAA-compliant IT asset management firm like Brass Valley provides is found in everything from cost savings to process improvement and data security.

Unfortunately, far too many companies don’t do their due diligence in asset management.

They may be exceptionally good at the work they do in their industry—be it financial services or pharmaceutical research—but they often fall short when it comes to managing the tools of their trade.

Brass Valley’s IT Hardware Asset Management services mitigate that shortfall and take command of your valuable IT investments—-and that’s only the beginning.

Why IT Hardware Asset Management Makes Good Sense

As self-sufficient as we like to be, our time and energy are best spent when focused on our own industries. Keep your business thriving and recognize and capitalize upon opportunities before your competitors do. In a perfect world, there are many things we would all love to hire experts and specialists to handle.

Companies must decide when and where to bring in the experts and when something can or should be handled ‘in-house.’ We submit that IT hardware asset management and data security are two related areas where outsourcing to the experts is the best practice. The reasons why are simple: the nature of the threat and the stakes at hand.
