Asset Management Services

As asset management challenges are similar across most industries and throughout various organization sizes, we work with clients of all types and sizes.  The majority of our clients however, are typically in the small to mid-size organizations (50 to 850 computers).  We partner with various software publishers to find the most appropriate software inventory solution for your organization.

Our consulting services will start with a gap analysis to determine how we can best help your company.  This analysis may be followed by training, documentation, tool selection, a Quick-Start Engagement to get your Asset Management Practice up & running or a neutral 3rd party assessment of software configurations in a technical solution offered by one of your other partners. 

The end result will be a complete and self-sufficient Asset Management Practice.  Should your company be shown to be out of compliance in any software, a shopping list will be provided with the best option for licensing for your organization, which can be fulfilled through Conrad & Associates or used to request quotes from your other vendors.

When do you need asset management?

Now! Having an Asset Management Practice in place allows for easier and more accurate budgeting, formal review processes of all maintenance, support and licensing agreements to ensure they still suit the needs of your organization, software cost savings and peace of mind that risks of non-compliance have been minimized or eliminated completely.

Events where you will benefit greatly from having or starting an Asset Management Practice:

• during mergers and acquisitions
• before negotiating software or support contracts
• before roll-out or upgrade to look for savings, duplicates, removal of competing software
• software or hardware upgrades – quickly find out what memory and disk space is on each system
• reduction or increase in employee count
• threat of audit through SIIA, CAAST or Software Publisher
