LANDesk®Asset Lifecycle Manager provides additional features that make the lifecycle process of an asset more interactive, informative, useful, and actionable. It can “touch” an asset at different and recurring points in the asset’s lifecycle with the following key features:
On-the-fly Reporting
On-the-fly reporting capabilities that contain the most up-to-date information. The asset and any of its components can be tracked according to status, version, manufacturer, etc.—whatever the user deems necessary. The data included in reports can then be used to make informed decisions regarding history, upgrades, replacements, workflows, audits, etc.
Forms Creation
Specific asset content, such as forms used for requesting assets, workflows, state diagrams, reports, and portals, is provided in the product’s Asset Content pack.
Intelligent Workflow Capabilities
Intelligent workflow capabilities that let IT departments perform routine request-driven tasks—like procurement, backup, software upgrades, patching, security management, etc.—automatically and with minimal user intervention.
Supporting Resources
Attaching supporting resources to an asset, and managing these throughout the lifecycle as well (resources include things like P.O.’s, invoices, contracts, support agreements, warranties, etc.).
Central Asset Repository
Enabling the overall management of the asset. As part of the central repository of data, the asset and all of its components are available to IT for purposes of troubleshooting, remote control, patching, upgrading, software delivery, data access, etc., and to business for purposes of purchase planning, cost analysis, audit compliance, etc.
