IT Financial Asset Management

Financial tracking isn’t just for accountants anymore – Numara Software puts end-to-end intelligent IT Asset Management at your fingertips

Have you ever been asked how much you spend on IT or what a laptop is worth in your organization? Not what you paid for it, but what you actually spend on it – the hardware, software, maintenance, support and warranty costs? Lacking an accurate financial picture makes it difficult to:

• Make budget justifications
• Optimize, manage and control spending
• Plan for hardware refreshes when machines reach the end of life.

Most organizations struggle to accurately track the financial status of their IT assets. A spreadsheet and much manual effort is often the only way modern organizations keep track of the financial data associated with IT assets. Some organizations use financial tracking software designed for the accounting department, but IT often needs much more detailed device lifecycle data to accurately forecast and budget for the next fiscal year.

No matter how you value your IT assets it is critical to consider the actual cost of the entire useful life of a device, not just the initial acquisition costs of the hardware and software. Consider the work habits of your employees and how many different devices they use to maintain their productivity. It is important to know the applications and operating systems that are running and that they are properly patched and current including those residing on or specific to mobile devices. Without all of this data it is difficult to prove the full service your IT organization is actually providing to the business and continue to justify requests for increased budgets and resources year after year.

With Numara FootPrints you can quickly and easily provide usable, consumable data for IT budget planning and forecasting as well as inventory valuations for accounting and auditors in minutes, not weeks. Numara makes it simple to import existing data and continue to update and track the hardware, software and service data more easily.

Numara Footprints will help you:

• Plan for a costly hardware refresh
• Avoid costly fines for software over-deployment
• Stop wasting money on unused software licenses
• Eliminate time-consuming, manual tracking of your warranty dates and costs
• Identify costly assets and reassign as needed
• Plan for depreciation impact

There are no more excuses. Know what your IT assets are worth today and confidently determine your IT asset requirements for tomorrow.
