IT departments are under increasing pressure to adapt to standardized business practices and more effectively demonstrate the value of IT spending. That’s why it is important to implement a process to accurately see, monitor and maintain IT assets across your organization.
To effectively manage your organization's valuable investment in IT assets you need to know what IT assets you own, where those assets are, and how they are configured—including mobile systems.
Once you have an accurate picture of the relationship between your vendor contracts, maintenance agreements and IT assets, you can use that knowledge to understand how assets are being used—or perhaps not being used. At this point you can plan software updates and replacements and negotiate contracts, so you only pay for what your business really needs.
Scalable Survey: Boost Efficiency and Control Costs
With its advanced IT asset monitoring capabilities, Scalable Survey helps organizations accurately report on what software is actually in use—not just what’s installed. And once you know what software isn’t being used, you can apply that asset intelligence to recover unused licenses and reduce unnecessary software and service agreement costs.
Scalable Survey also lets you quickly examine OS and application data to plan upgrades or migrations, identify security issues and determine ongoing purchase needs.
With Scalable Survey, you have the IT asset management tools to:
Conduct Asset Audits
Provide zero-touch inventory gathering for all devices throughout an organization. This provides the fastest and most cost-effective audit for IT software and hardware assets throughout an organization.
Plan hardware upgrades and refreshes

Proactively reduce software license costs
Harvest unused licenses and negotiate license agreements with accurate usage analysis, compliance analysis, and license utilization reporting.
