IT Asset Management Solutions Overview
Introduction
xAssets offers two products, Network Discovery and IT Asset Management.
These are designed to meet the needs of differing organisations.
We also provide two main subcomponents,
Software Asset Management and Help Desk. Software Asset Management and
Help Desk are now available in both products.
Network Discovery
xAssets Network Discovery includes the IT Asset Management functions needed by organisations who
want to discover their network, manage non-discoverable assets, manage Software Licensing, warranties and store
a complete asset inventory.
Network Discovery is built on a configurable asset register and includes "out of the box" integrations into Active Directory and HP Web Jet.
xAssets Network Discovery is very quick to implement and competitively priced.
IT Asset Management
xAssets IT Asset Management Software is primarily used as the centralized asset
respository for large companies and companies with specific integration, configuration or customization requirements.
Integration is key function and xAssets IT Asset Management
is designed to take feeds from any IT systems which store asset data.
This often includes SMS, System Center, Active Directory, HP Web Jet, EMC, Backup Products, Patchlink, WSUS and other discovery tools.
The product can include Network Discovery or
it can be used with another discovery tool as an integration point.
This product includes the Asset Management capabilities of our Network Discovery product, and can also include addition functions
such as procurement, receiving, barcoding, depreciation, planned/scheduled maintenance, contract management and
service desk (help desk).
xAssets IT Asset Management is usually implemented by system integrators and is primarily aimed at large enterprises or those
with substantial IT infrastructure.
