Your IT asset register is probably lying to youMost CIOs believe they have a technology cost problem but many actually have a visibility problem, writes Marcelle Steyn, strategic sales lead at InnoVent. The result is what many technology leaders are now discovering: the asset register and the actual environment no longer tell the same story. In today’s environment, where budgets are under pressure and technology investments face greater scrutiny, every asset needs to justify its existence. This is why asset visibility is rapidly becoming a strategic issue rather than an administrative one. The irony is that many organisations continue searching for savings in procurement negotiations while significant value remains hidden inside their existing asset base.
