Organisations are increasingly turning to IT Asset Management (ITAM) software to help them manage the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of their IT Assets. Accurate reporting is key. Without this, decisions on upgrades and the roll-out of new technology will not be taken from an entirely informed position.

From a cost-saving standpoint, knowing the inventory of IT assets is critical when deciding whether to purchase more assets, redistribute current assets, or retire them completely - along with their costly maintenance contracts and renewal fees.

One leading company making good use of their ITAM solution is Pepsi Cola who use NetSupport DNA at their HQ in Thailand. A recent expansion of their IT infrastructure has led to the company increasing the number of DNA licenses they hold.

The core Hardware/Software Inventory module has been supplemented in the latest version with a unique and highly relevant Energy Monitor component and this is helping Pepsi meet their environmental responsibilities.

Industry analysts show that IT energy costs are often one of the highest on the company’s IT budget and one that is most overlooked for efficiency management. NetSupport DNA’s energy monitor provides a simple and concise high-level summary of potential energy wastage across an organisation, highlighting systems that are left powered on out of business hours.
