The ITIL Asset Management challenge

Managing thousands of IT assets within your organization – from desktops, laptops, mobile devices, servers, and network devices, to software, contracts, and maintenance agreements – is a difficult task.   Business environments today are too complex and sophisticated to manage with a traditional spreadsheet and manual entry approach.   The multi-departmental asset and inventory tool methods are time consuming and expensive.  With the New York release, ServiceNow Software Asset Management Professional tightly integrates with BigFix so customers can now create a robust single threaded method to manage both software and hardware assets.

True Digital User Experience Management

For over two decades, Advanced Integrated Solutions has worked with hundreds of Fortune 500 and 1000 companies and a plethora of state, local, and Federal government entities to help their CIO’s, IT Directors and Managers design and implement reliable enterprise system management solutions to ultimately achieve one thing – to provide a reliable and positive digital experience for the community of users IT is supposed to serve. The reality of our collective efforts, thousands of man-hours and millions of dollars spent, is at best a C+ in terms of results.  While we touted technology, technology was the very thing that prevented us from truly succeeding in our efforts to provide a truly positive digital user experience for our customers.
