Managing your hardware and software maintenance contracts can be overwhelming. Most IT assets are under contract and need ongoing support, and with every contract comes a tremendous amount of administrative work to keep those assets covered. As your assets grow in numbers, so does the total across your entire IT infrastructure, making it difficult to track properly.
Whether you are managing the contracts on your own, overseeing asset turnover, handling aging assets, or monitoring service levels compliance, it requires continuous effort. This is true for both hardware and software components. As more and more products move from hardware-based to software-based, it creates even more tracking challenges simply because there is no longer a physical asset. Tracking all of these assets with so many moving pieces and multiple manufacturers—from individual asset stop dates to maintenance coverage—can get confusing, convoluted, and leaves a margin for error.
