ASAP eSMART     

Intelligent Asset Management

IT asset management systems have become very much in vogue over the last five years.  When properly utilised, they will result in greatly improved efficiencies in many functional areas within the IT organisation and its supporting organisations.  Gartner analysts say that companies can save as much as 20% per year when fully utilising a complete asset management system.

Unfortunately few companies have successfully implemented a complete asset management solution.  Gartner analysts go on to say that only 25% of companies have implemented asset management.

Companies find that the costs to support and maintain these systems are far greater than originally anticipated.  These include:

• Initial Hardware and Software Requirements
• Implementation
• Training
• On-going Hardware and Software Maintenance
• On-going Support

At ASAP, we have developed an asset management solution that virtually eliminates all of these costs, is rapidly deployed across your desktops, laptops, and servers, collects and delivers asset data every day without slowing your network, and immediately starts producing positive ROI.  Our solution will help you ensure that hardware and software assets are managed properly and efficiently, and can even assist your organisation in guarding against violation of software copyright laws.

ASAP eSMART, the least expensive asset management solution on the market today, costs only pennies per day per device. Deployment takes just a few weeks, or a few days, depending on your environment. As a hosted solution, it requires very little management. 

ASAP eSMART collects data on all of your software applications, licenses and network or Internet-connected hardware, no matter where they are in the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  ASAP leverages relationships with the software publisher community to deliver an up to date software executable database.  ASAP handles the entire inventory naming and categorising process, eliminating a time consuming and confusing aspect of many asset management tools. 

eSMART delivers reports that allow you to monitor software standards and license compliance, as well as manage your hardware asset inventory, through a standard Web browser.  eSMART provides executives and other key employees access to this information 24 hours a day.  Additionally, the eSMART interface is easy to navigate and requires little or no training.

ASAP eSMART can be deployed on any of the following: Windows 9x and higher desktops and laptops, Sun Unix and MS Windows Servers, Macintosh computers, Palm Pilots and Cisco Switches and Routers.  You decide what is included in the inventory. 

All data between monitored devices and the Network Operating Center is encrypted using elliptical curve cryptography from Certicom.  The NOC (Network Operating Center) is also protected by a comprehensive physical security system.
