Welcome to Smuggle Me

At work my boss has been freaking out about not being able to manage all of the various assets we are resonsible for. Granted we are a technology group that has a pretty large area of responsibility and a ton of computer assets. Plus, he’s paying the price when the “higher ups” keep asking him to report on what computers we have in our inventory.

Asset Management Software is really his only solution. He’s tried wasting his time with a spreadsheet and an access database (translate glorified spreadsheet). He even tried to do it in our ticket system, but trust me that is a crappy solution.

Netsimplicity seems like it might just be the right solution for us. I think I’m going to tell him to do the Visual Asset Manager Free Trial.

This lists is enough reason to spend the time trying it out:

# Automatically discover and audit Windows workstations throughout your organization.
# Manage inventory: This asset management software can inventory facility, operational and IT assets. Scan and print barcodes; track leases, maintenance, depreciation repair history and fair market value.
# Visually map assets to assigned locations and employees, locate them instantly, and manage office relocation.

The visual map’s great. The barcodes are even better. Now they just need to sell some barcode scanners.
