Opportunity
By taking control of your IT environment, you can reap some of the many benefits associated with good IT Asset management practices,

• Financial Management. Ensure you only procure software and hardware that is actually required by the organisation i.e. take full advantage of what is already owned, and free up some IT budget.
• IT Management & Control. Visibility of what is, and has been deployed across the IT estate, helps drive improvements in all asset lifecycle processes and procedures, and provides real time visibility of how successfully these ITIL best practices have been implemented and followed.
• Compliance. Determine the current compliance position, rectify any discrepancies in the most cost effective manner and then maintain a compliant steady-state.Software Non-compliance has legal implications for organisations, and, more importantly, for individuals (directors of companies are responsible and liable for non-compliant software licensing)
• Governance. Assists in ensuring your organisation meets its regulatory obligations and helps ensure the right policies are in place to drive staff behaviour.The third South African report on corporate governance (KING III) was released on 1 September 2009, and becomes effective on 1 March 2010, and refers to the functional responsibility of those charged with governance of any entity, including IT Governance.Start to gain insight and control of your IT assets with CentrePoint.
