IT Asset Management Services

What would you do if you were asked to produce an accurate inventory of your Information Technology (IT) assets? Are you confident that the information in your asset management system is correct? Without the internal resources and governance to produce this critical information, many organizations must write-off misplaced assets and may also incur fines for non-compliance to government regulatory requirements.

OAO Technology Solutions, Inc. (OAOT) is a global IT solutions provider that can help you track the value, location, status, configuration and management of your organization’s hardware and software assets. Our IT Asset Management Services (ITAMS) by OAOT^sm  solution safeguards your IT investments by baselining and accurately recording your enterprise-wide assets. We work with you to ensure that any discrepancies are corrected and then help to establish and implement sustainable processes and procedures for long-term IT asset governance. For more than a decade, we have improved our customers’ regulatory compliance and inventory accuracy and accounted for thousands of valuable corporate assets.

ITAMS Benefits:

• Establishes critical IT processes and asset management controls
• Reduces the risk of monetary penalties for non-compliance
• Improves inventory control for IT investments, systems and other resources
• Manages the full asset life cycle, from implementation to disposal

Regulatory Compliance and Cost Savings

With legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the increased focus on data security and business continuity, asset management controls require more precision than ever before. To manage these rapidly changing demands, you need a trusted partner with a proven track record for providing IT Asset Management processes and control services. With our ITAMS solution, OAOT has saved our customers tens of millions of dollars in potential IT asset write-offs.

The OAOT ITAMS Solution is comprised of three distinct services that you can leverage individually or as a complete offering, depending on your requirements:

• IT Asset Management Consultancy:  Our experienced ITAMS team members offer a consultative approach that is based on worldwide standards, compliance processes and methodologies for the management of enterprise-wide IT Assets. We work with you to establish, implement and sustain a long-term IT asset governance model.
• IT Asset Baseline Service: OAOT has provided numerous asset baselines across highly complex IT environments and worldwide locations. Our expertise includes new and comprehensive baselines, as well as reconciliation against your past baselines to track new, existing and previously unidentified assets.
• IT Asset Lifecycle Solution:  We provide end-to-end Asset Management Services to improve control over IT assets from implementation to disposal. We perform IT Asset Lifecycle management procedures and physical inventories on a recurring basis, and customers can choose either an all-inclusive or a representative inventory sample.

Worldwide Reach Yields Results

As an organization expands and adds locations around the globe, it is vital to have a comprehensive approach to managing the enterprise-wide IT infrastructure. To ensure that your IT asset management practices are reliable and achieve global adherence to regulatory requirements, you need a company with the talent, experience and flexibility to complete this task on-time, on-budget and in an independent manner.

Our proven approach has yielded valuable results on a worldwide scale. For example, we suppported an IT asset baseline and a physical inventory for a customer with an estimated 120,000 assets distributed across 4 continents, 60 countries and more than 120 locations. This enterprise included highly secure clean-rooms, as well as production, testing, warehousing and distribution facilities.

The OAOT team members leveraged an enterprise management tool to quickly account for approximately 100,000, or just under 80% of the customer’s total assets. This left an estimated 20,000 devices that required manual processing to complete the asset baseline. Across this globally diverse organization, we baselined devices that included servers, server-attached equipment, active network devices and network-connected printers.

What resulted from the physical inventory was an additional 6,000 devices for a total of 26,000 assets, or an additional 5% of the enterprise-wide inventory that had never been recorded. With the IT Asset Baseline Services successfully completed, the customer also received results-focused analysis and recommendations to sustain asset management effectiveness across all of their locations.

Our expertise, highly skilled teams and repeatable processes and tools are why our customers trust OAOT to manage more than 10 million assets around the world. This includes critical business continuity data and tape media. We specialize in the management of critical IT processes where the cost of non-compliance can be very high. Our dedication to the implementation and control of the end-to-end IT asset lifecycle provide our customers with the assurance that business risks associated with regulatory compliance are mitigated.
