For IT Asset Management
Better Software and
Hardware Control
- Due to the cost of transferring ownership and the relatively short lifecycle of IT hardware, this is one of the first things to start to slip under the radar and before you know it. Soon somebody wants to know “where are all of our servers/desktops/laptops and what happens to them when we don’t need them anymore?” How easily — more importantly, how quickly and accurately — can you answer this question?
- Tracking and managing software licenses is another critical aspect of managing your IT assets. With software license audits more a reality than an exception, having an accurate count of applications on your network can keep your organization above the line.
- With VAM you can:
- Link your IT equipment to specific people and locations and map your inventory but an inventory mapped to the floorplans of your company.
- Manage loaner IT equipment with the check-in/check out feature – tracking not only who is the custodian, but when it is due back.
- Track depreciation and know when to salvage equipment in order to help provide a better picture when you need to invest into new hardware.
- Discover software installed on Windows-based PCs and reconcile what you have installed on your network vs. the licenses that you own. Even discover applications that aren’t work related.
For Facilities Management
Better Visibility
- Large to small. Centralized to de-centralized. National to global – VAM has the flexibility and strength to support not only gathering your organization’s assets, but also the ability to give you visibility to everything at any level of detail you require.
- With VAM you can:
- Create a snapshot of every floor in every building that you are responsible for managing that shows where your fixed assets are – or are not.
- Have the flexibility to assign different users specific management functions against specific categories, while ensuring that you still retain the visibility over all of your organization’s assets.
- Easily integrate VAM with handheld Barcoding for inventory or asset tracking.
For Office Management/General Administration
Better Moves
- Are you the keystone that holds the day-to-day operations of the office together? When assets are ordered are you responsible for receiving them…and figuring out when and what to get rid of? Are you the one who has to handle getting new employees set up and then manage all the moves? If you are looking for a way out of the time and resource drains that accompany these challenges, then VAM is what you need.
- With VAM you can:
- Quickly enter new assets with a handheld barcode scanner and assign them to employees or offices.
- Ensure that new employees have the right equipment and ensure that when employees leave you can account for all their equipment.
- Easily know when depreciated assets can be salvaged and when you need to purchase replacement assets.
- Provide a “map’ of your organization for employees to find assets and employees to encourage self-service.
- Quickly check-in /out loaner equipment and track when it is due.
For Accounting and Finance
Better Balance Sheet
- How do you manage the depreciation of your fixed assets? How do you ensure accurate and readily available access to the data that tells you how much your assets are worth? What about when you need to provide this information to auditors for financial review or demonstrate 404/SOX compliance? If you are looking for something better than just spreadsheets and manual tracking of your assets to meet all of your financial and accounting requirements surrounding your fixed assets, then VAM is what you need:
- Track depreciation using built in straight-line, double-declining balance, or sum-of-the-years-digits conventions.
- Report instantly on the book value of all your fixed assets by category.
- Automatically track the salvage value of your assets to know what you can write-offs and for how much.
