The Real Cost of Manual Asset Management


People are often surprised to find that the cost of gathering the IT asset data is often as much as or even more than the cost of the management system itself.

There are several obvious costs. First, there is the cost of the asset management system itself. Add to this the cost of the initial collection and recording of the asset data. Finally, add the cost of performing manual audits of the data on an ongoing basis. In addition to these obvious costs, there are several hidden costs which are often overlooked. These hidden costs include stranded power and increased shutdown risk due to inaccurate and incomplete data and increased mean time to repair and decreased system availability due to the inability to automatically track configuration changes in the data center.

This white paper will attempt to put some real numbers around the cost of using manual data entry to maintain an accurate record of your IT assets.
