IQ Asset Manager
GAIN VALUABLE INSIGHTS INTO AND MANAGEMENT CONTROL OF YOUR ‘AS-IS’ SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE IT STACK AND YOUR ‘TO BE’ IT PORTFOLIO TO IDENTIFY GAPS OR OVERLAPS
WHO BENEFITS?
IQ Asset Manager analyzes your IT asset data to detect weaknesses and vulnerabilities, delivering authoritative data to ensure approved/unapproved lists are actionable. This technology benefits leaders and team members from all levels of the organization, including:
- Agency Leadership
- Program Managers
- Project Managers
- CIOs, CTOs, PMOs, and COOs
- IT Asset Managers
- System Owners
- IT License Managers
- SETA Contractors
The larger the enterprise, the more IT assets there are to manage. Tracking all of these assets and keeping basic lists up- to-date are enormous, never-ending tasks, prone to human error simply because of the scope. And trying to align asset management with strategic planning is often out of reach because the two systems are so disparate.
IQ Asset Manager can help – moving you away from error-prone human entries to machine-generated authoritative data, and linking these two crucial tasks. Working on top of the InQuisient Platform, IQ Asset Manager helps you clearly see information from strategic planning to the operational environment, soup to nuts, truly connecting the dots all the way along the operational process.
This capability makes managing your IT assets dramatically more accurate. Users can easily and immediately see hot spots of what’s missing, what’s actually being used, what’s expired and what’s current. This makes your organization’s approved technology list actionable: compare what’s approved for your organization with what you actually have installed, to see what needs to be phased out, what needs to be renewed or replaced.
Use of IQ Asset Manager’s graphing capability, coupled with asset data, allows you to generate real-time network diagrams. And IQ Asset Manager integrates with best-of-breed repositories and other asset management tools, like BDNA Technopedia, ensuring the fidelity and authority of the data.
FINALLY, A SOLUTION THAT ENABLES YOU TO ACCURATELY COMPARE WHAT’S ON YOUR APPROVED/UNAPPROVED LIST TO WHAT’S ACTUALLY IN YOUR NETWORK.
- Compare what you have on your network vs. what your organization thought you had on your network
- Link legacy systems to new IT portfolio projects for sunset planning
- Track migration from enterprise to cloud environment
- Use with asset management solutions such as BDNA to provide real- time reports on out-of-date licenses, software, and other vulnerabilities
- Create dashboard that shows weight of the organization’s investment by software and hardware manufacturer (Microsoft, Intel, etc.)
IQ Asset Manager enables reports like the above, which lets users see their IT assets – hardware and software – by manufacturer.
IQ Asset Manager helps organizations clearly see ‘as-is’ and ‘to be’ EA, to ensure best allocation of resources and budget. This clear view into your current IT stack enables an accurate comparison of your planned IT portfolio with your current architecture to identify gaps or overlaps.
