Is Your Company Fully Managing Its Hardware Assets?

Companies often face challenges in traceability, maintenance, and optimization of their physical IT assets. Without an efficient Hardware Asset Management (HAM) process in place, organizations risk financial losses, unmanaged obsolescence, unnecessary acquisitions, and even security threats.

A lack of visibility means equipment is frequently underutilized, left in stock without clear justification, or becomes a bottleneck when critical business functions suffer from hardware deficiencies. The result? Rising costs, compliance risks, and declining operational efficiency.

Why Hardware Asset Management Matters

Effective HAM ensures that every piece of hardware—from laptops and desktops to servers, routers, and mobile devices—is tracked, maintained, and optimized throughout its lifecycle.

When automated and integrated with platforms like ServiceNow, HAM can deliver:

End-to-End Asset Visibility – Know exactly what hardware is in use, where it is, and who owns it.
Lifecycle Management – From procurement to disposal, assets are monitored to avoid unnecessary costs.
Improved Compliance & Security – Reduce risks of non-compliance and vulnerabilities from unmanaged devices.
Optimized ROI – Ensure assets are utilized to their maximum potential before replacements or upgrades.
