The Difficulties of Asset Management Distributed computing and the explosion of new software products and publishers has created a degree of unmanageability through small isolated transactions accumulating into a complex business issue. The main challenge is how you approach the management and responsibilities associated with large volumes of software, suppliers, hardware assets and the complex ever changing licensing models that are associated with some publishers. Without the appropriate tools, people and processes it can be almost impossible to manage.
    
AssetStudio™ by Certero transforms the way you manage your IT hardware and software assets and the way you think about them. Through its simple, intuitive interface, AssetStudio™ provides organisations with a powerful set of tools to control your IT estate more effectively.
    
Public sector organisations are often required to report on a departmental or function basis. AssetStudio™ has an extensible schema to allow organisations to capture and report on additional asset information, such as warranty, department and purchase information that cannot be retrieved from the device itself. AssetStudio™ also has an archiving facility that allows you to remove decommissioned assets yet retain the data for compliance purposes. Configurable policies within AssetStudio™ can automate the archiving process or highlight assets that have not contacted the server for some time.
    
The data in many IT Asset Management products can quickly become out of date as they tend to be used by a subset of the IT department for annual compliance or one off activities. Unlike pure IT Asset Management products, AssetStudio™  can be used for systems management activities. The ability to configure management tools, Software Delivery and integration with third party remote control tools means AssetStudio™ can and will be used throughout the IT department, from service desk to senior management.
 
AssetStudio™ is written by IT professionals with extensive experience of managing large, complex, enterprise estates. This experience has enabled Certero to create a unique product that has all the features of an enterprise product without the complexities or price tag.  AssetStudio™ does not require intensive training and can be installed and active on your network in less than half a day.
    
By giving you full visibility of all your IT Assets, AssetStudio™ can help you in both the standardisation of your PC hardware and the task of becoming (and staying) software compliant. Through the use of the System Discovery and Software Delivery modules, AssetStudio™ is capable of giving you return on investment from the moment your first PC is discovered.
