The Benefits of Integrating IT Asset Management Systems with an ITAD Vendors System

Organisations can achieve optimal end-to-end transparency and automated information sharing by integrating IT asset management systems with ITAD vendor systems. 

The integration of IT asset management systems with ITAD vendor systems is integral for a variety of reasons, all of which benefit organisations and their endeavours to remain compliant, secure, and operating at peak efficiency. In order to understand the benefits of integrating these two systems, it is first important to define these terms and how they can be integrated with one another. 

What are IT Asset Management Systems? 

IT Asset Management (ITAM) systems are a set of business procedures and practices that allow organizations to manage the lifespan of IT assets, from acquisition and procurement to deployment, retirement, and disposal. These systems rely on accurate and up-to-current IT asset inventories, which include critical asset information such as serial number, software licenses, purchase date, employee assignment, physical condition, and so on.

ITAM systems are generally connected with other business systems, such as supply chain and procurement, and they frequently use automation to track and trace IT assets. The National Cyber Security Centre in the United Kingdom has put together a useful guide on the importance of ITAM systems in cybersecurity.

While it is critical to consider supplier acquisition and procurement, the essential phases of the lifecycle that will be discussed here are for end-of-life (EoL) IT assets. IT Asset Disposition focuses on processes including Hard Drive Disposal, Data Destruction, and Data Center Decommissioning.

What exactly are IT Vendor Systems?

When we mention IT vendor systems, we mean IT asset management vendor systems, not the vendor management systems that are widely employed in labor staffing. IT vendor systems are primarily cloud-based software packages that let organizations to comprehensively manage their IT hardware and software assets.

In order to facilitate IT asset management, these systems may or may not be coupled with other IT systems within your organization, such as Data Centre Services, HR software, or supplier procurement software.

How to Integrate IT Management with Vendor Systems

If your ITAM system is not coupled with your IT vendor system, try integrating the two using the tips below:

  • Choose a respected ITAD leader: Wisetek, for example, may provide a comprehensive range of ITAD services as well as integrated IT vendor system solutions such as AudIT and VirtuRL for IT asset tracking and returns management, respectively. These services are extremely important to an organization since they connect ITAM and ITAD via a comprehensive IT vendor system.
  • Establish defined goals: In order to standardize the processes involved in ITAD, your organization must create an ITAD policy as well as clear goals. Consider specifics like a physical assessment of every obsolete IT asset, secure data destruction mechanisms, and strategies to reduce e-waste through repair or recycling. Wisetek follows a Circular Economy concept, in which reconditioned IT assets are resold through our Wisetek Market.
  • Stay up to date: An ITAM system or an IT vendor system is useless if it is not consistently updated. To reduce human mistake, information should always be accurate and, whenever possible, automated. Wisetek IT vendor solutions provide accurate and fast reporting features that ensure your organization does not leave any IT asset (or critical data) unaccounted for.
  • Ascertain that all processes are auditable and secure: Because of the increasing frequency of data breaches, data security has become one of the most essential factors for organizations in recent years. Always ensure that your ITAD policy is strong and encourages (and enforces) compliance with data security standards while reducing the risk of data breaches. Wisetek uses fully auditable processes and cutting-edge data deletion technologies to keep your organization compliant.

The Advantages of ITAM and IT Vendor System Integration

Organizations should anticipate smooth end-to-end transparency, automated processes, and compliant, accountable processes with relation to their IT assets when ITAM and IT vendor systems are integrated. Furthermore, it allows for correct information sharing between important stakeholders such as IT providers and the organization, which can aid in the acquisition and IT asset disposition.

Consider how the automotive giant BMW builds its vehicles in Dingolfing, Bavaria. Due to the smooth sharing of information between BMW and their suppliers, providers such as Continental in Regensburg are able to deliver custom car seats with just-in-time (JIT) delivery, exactly according to the customer’s demands. ITAM & IT vendor system integration is critical for multinational organizations to maintain accurate and timely inventories of IT assets that benefit all parties involved, including the organization and its ITAD provider.
