In House Asset & Patch Management System

Posted by Laura on November 13, 2008

Do you pay another company to manage your companies assets?  Do you pay for a hosted solution?  Are you considering hosting an asset management sytem in house but wondering if it will be truly cost effective?

Check out this great option by Altiris/Symantec.  The Total Solution Suite will provide an ROI typically within 12-13 months of deployment.   Costs will be saved in lower software license costs, cost saved in remote backup, faster and cheaper imaging of PCs & servers, reduce hardware inventory, lower labor costs with IT asset auditing, greater reduced cost for software migration, fewer service desk calls and faster patch management.  And best of all of course it is hosted in house, under your own roof, in your own control. 

Here is a case study that shows a company that used this solution & had an 87% payback within 13 months of deployment.

Good stuff.
