Every asset has a lifecycle from purchase to retirement. The Cireson Asset Management app directly integrates within Service Manager to enhance the Microsoft System Center, Server, and Cloud Platform’s powerful capabilities. It provides Asset Managers an effective lifecycle view revealing precisely where a particular asset is at any given moment, and whether or not it’s providing value to your business.
Track all your IT asset details from the asset status, location, department, cost center, owner, warranty, maintenance, and software licensing to gain control on your true IT operational costs.
With Cireson and System Center, you can optimize your current process by ensuring compliance, reducing costs, and automating the asset lifecycle management. Common efficiencies include: planning asset offerings, fulfilling procurement and retirement requests, automating deployments, office replenishments, standardizations, and managing incidents and changes all within Service Manager.
Service Manager allows for the ability to import Active Directory computers, printers, and users from Configuration Manager and Operations Manager technical inventory. However, companies are unable to perform true Asset Management on organizational and financials concerning this data. These are the shortcomings that inspired our market leading Asset Management solution.
