controls IT resources, so that you can manage,
monitor and report on the use your IT assets. By

your organisation from getting behind on

software updates.

3 Deliverables of IT Asset Management



Asset identification IT asset management starts
with asset identification in order to create a
detailed list of all the electronics including
software and hardware assets that a company
owns. Tracking of the assets This step uses IT
asset management tools and IT asset management
software to collect information about each asset.
All the details including the cost, contracts,
warranties, licenses, location and condition of
the physical assets are recorded. Maintenance
of IT assets Depending on the lifecycle of the
IT asset, each item is maintained. It involves
repair, upgrade and hardware disposal of
redundant IT equipment. All these activities are
recorded to assess the performance of your IT
assets as this data can help in the next
purchase.

5 Stages of IT Asset Management Lifecycle
Planning
To plan a new purchase, you will have to create
a detailed report on the history of your IT
asset. This report should tell how well the
previous such devices performed and what
upgradation would be required for next purchase.
It contains the information of such IT equipment
from different brands and their reviews to
determine which one suits your company the
best. ecogreenitrecycling.co.uk

Develop and acquire
The history and planning report created in the
step above comes into play here. You can
thoroughly check the list of vendors and
determine what to choose. Here you can decide if
you want to go with the previous order or try a
new vendor. In this step you place the order and
get the new physical assets and software for the
term.

Retirement of IT equipment
There is a standard retirement policy for each
asset and you need to maintain the records on
your IT asset management system. This stage marks
the end of the useful life of your IT asset
where it cannot be further fixed so you send it
for recycling or refurbishing as per the
condition. Disposal and Replacement After the
retirement stage, the next step is to process the
equipment and purchase a replacement for it.
This is the time when you safely dispose of old
electronics and get IT recycling services and
hardware disposal from a trustworthy IT
recycling company such as EcoGreen. ecogreenitrec
