Part 5 of 5: The Bottom Line
Many vendors offer ITAM tools to inventory and audit data center assets, including web-based, visualization, connectivity modules, and mobile devices to make inventorying and auditing easier.
When properly implemented in the data center, ITAM tools can help to increase inventory accuracy and reduce the time and manpower required for inventory and audit processes.
The ROI for ITAM is simple:
- Fast. ITAM solutions can provide quicker physical IT asset audits in the data center and throughout the enterprise.
- Easy. ITAM solutions can provide easy to navigate interfaces that work with your existing processes to improve performance.
- Real. ITAM solutions can provide real data through actionable exception reporting and open interfaces to other systems.
- Cost-effective. ITAM solutions cost far less than manual data center audits and can save time and money in daily operations.
