AssetStudio™ IT Asset Management
Licensing, Software and Hardware IT Asset Management
With the value proposition of IT assets changing from hardware to software, organisations can find it difficult to adjust the traditional approach of ‘Discovery/Inventory’ to accommodate the new challenges they now face, namely the inclusion of software licensing, the adoption of Software Asset Management (SAM) best practices and ISO 19770. Traditional solutions may struggle with legacy architecture and can only adapt by providing functionality which can be comprised by the limitations of integration. Wouldn’t it be good to start all over again, unfortunately this is not possible for most. At Certero, we have been able to do exactly this and the result is AssetStudio™.
