Summary: IT managed service providers face unique challenges when selecting asset management tools. They need to address their needs as well as their clients and the solution need to be flexible enough to work with a range of configurations 'out of the box'.
IT managed service providers face unique challenges when they select an asset management system they can implement to manage their customers' IT assets. It needs to be flexible so that it can be easily customized, it needs to be easy to use so it does not consume too much man-power and it needs to delight the customer and demonstrate their expertise and thought-leadership.
While there are a large number of IT asset management solutions on the market, most of them fall short of meeting the requirements of IT managed service providers. They are often too costly and complex to implement to be effective and so many service providers simply use spreadsheets or other IT management tools to do the job. This represents a huge missed opportunity since customers truly benefit from a managed IT asset tracking solution.
The chosen solution needs to be quickly and easily implemented requiring little or no special IT skills and should be rapidly customized to meet the unique needs of each client. It needs to be mobile and work with the IT tools already in place, PC, Macs, laptops, smartphones and tablets so it becomes part of the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) strategy many companies are adopting.
