Types of IT assets that can be managed by Endpoint Central MSP

There are several types of IT assets which an organization uses. Here are the two major types of IT assets:

• Hardware asset

Devices such as laptops, desktops, servers, mobile devices, printers, usually fall under the hardware category of the IT assets.

• Software asset

Licenses of commercial applications (Adobe, Microsoft Office suite, etc.), corporate applications meant to be used only for employees, corporate data in company owned devices, operating system (Windows) licenses, etc. fall under the software category.

Why is IT asset management important?

IT asset management is sometimes referred to as IT inventory management because it involves gathering detailed hardware and software inventory information which is then used to make business (ops) related decisions. ITAM is more than just gathering up-to-date IT asset data. It additionally includes customizing the captured data according to the needs of the organization, monitoring parameters (tracking of cracked commercial applications, warranties, licenses etc.), reporting, and using all such data to minimize risk, maximize returns, and improve security.
