TRUSTED BY INDUSTRY LEADERS
The lack of comprehensive, real-time visibility into hardware inventory, software usage, and requirements negatively impacts the ability to accurately forecast capital and operational expenditures (CapEx and OpEx),identify ways to streamline asset lifecycle management programs, and reduce costs.
User onboarding and offboarding, end-of-life systems, lease agreements, hardware performance issues, software licensing, and more all impact budget forecasting and allocation of IT resources to support business needs. Unfortunately, this information is spread across multiple siloed systems and spreadsheets - or it is known anecdotally by managers but not readily accessible.
In addition, IT teams often lack a comprehensive inventory of hardware, who is using it, and where it is located to identify ways to use assets sitting in inventory, reallocate assets when another user upgrades to a different device or leaves, or combine asset refresh cycles with OS migration programs. Leaders also lack the information they need to rationalize applications and reduce licensing costs.
ReadyWorks aggregates data coming from your discovery tools, systems of record, and spreadsheets into one platform – no CMDB cleanup required. (ReadyWorks does that for you!) This data is then used to update inventory, accurately correlate hardware and software with user information (e.g., location, department, requirements, and policies), identify systems and software that are nearing end of life, and prepare accurate forecasts of upcoming IT investment requirements.
