Asset Management

What’s the best way to maximize your investment in your IT assets? As you consider the various pieces of hardware, software and IT equipment acquired for your company, it makes sense to understand the most productive use of these valuable assets, and how long your company can expect to use them. NCC Data’s Dallas and Ft. Worth IT consultants will create a simple-to-use plan for knowing precisely what hardware and software you own, where it's installed, whether or not it is being used, how much you paid for it and more.

Hardware Lifecycle Management

Chances are slim that the myriad of workstations and hardware in your company will need upgrading or replacement at the same time. For the overall seamless operation of your company, though, NCC Data helps organize and conduct the entire lifecycle of your hardware, starting with your existing equipment, and making recommendations for new equipment when it’s needed.

IT Hardware Lifecycle Management involves coordinating the equipment through every stage, from its original acquisition to its trade in or disposal. In between those two events, however, are other segments of the lifecycle:

  • Maintenance
  • Upgrades
  • Reallocating assets for better use elsewhere in your company

Ultimately, NCC Data’s Lifecycle Management helps to fine tune your resources for the best possible ROI. How? Let’s extended the useful life of your IT equipment, maximize its value, and increase the capability for upgrades.

Software Asset Management Program

Prior to making any decisions about your software program, let NCC Data perform a SAM review including a thorough Software Inventory, matching of software licenses, and a review of licensing policies and procedures.

Following a thorough review, NCC Data will employ our best practice tools and processes to create a strong SAM program that delivers these benefits:

  • Reduce legal liability arising from the use of unlicensed software
  • Reduce security risks through un-patched or old software installations
  • Reduce purchasing costs through volume discounts
  • Control costs by eliminating unused licensed applications
  • Control costs by purchasing only the licenses you really need
  • Comply with regulatory requirements

License Compliance

Managing software licenses can be complex and time consuming, especially if your business has multiple locations. NCC Data’s complete license management solution makes it simple for you to:

  • Manage many kinds of licensing options including client access (CAL), volume, enterprise, OEM, per-processor, per-user, and others
  • Record license purchases, dates, and costs, and associate related documents such as contracts and purchase orders
  • Allocate licenses to various departments and confirm installations in these exact locations
  • Automate the gathering of inventory and usage data
