Why Taking Inventory is So Important Today

Manage Your Inventory and Start Saving Money Now!

Anyone in IT knows that managing today’s inventory involves much more than keeping track of phones and modems.

Inventory management has become something of a science in that it has expanded to include all your IT/telecom assets including your network and everything that resides on it. Therefore, the challenges of taking charge of your inventory and optimizing it are anything but trivial.

These are just some of the things that need to be tackled on a regular basis:

• Establishing and updating ordering procedures and approvals
• Verification of services and devices ordered
• Verification of services and devices turned off
• Enterprise device tracking
• Reporting and visibility by: business unit, department, service type, ROI and other business intelligence criteria

Who is doing this for you? If your answer is “whoever has time” it’s time to take action now.

These days, given staffing challenges and budgets it isn’t easy to take the time to review inventory. The tendency is to “let sleeping dogs lie” and deal with it when you have more time.

However, that approach, while understandable, will end up in chronic over-spending.

Here’s where:

• Billing errors
• Sub-par network designs
• Inaccurate bill payment
• Inefficient purchasing decisions

It isn’t hard to imagine the negative ripple effect this neglect has on your department and your organization as a whole.

​But spreadsheets and homegrown databases won’t do the job.

Why? Because by not frequently cross referencing and re-checking the information against your billing and customer service records you are impacting the integrity of the information itself. Wrong information, compounded over months and months results in thousands of dollars wasted.
