Cost Control - Risk Mgmt. White Papers

Optimal Use of Technology Resources: Taming the Tiger With an End-to-End Approach

Overview RFG believes there is a strong weapon in the arsenal for enterprises placing more emphasis than ever on cost control and exploitation of incumbent resources. That weapon is to shift from reactive point management of technology assets - especially desktop and server computers, mobile devices, network equipment, printers, software, and telephones - to proactively managing such assets throughout their life cycles. Comprehensive approaches now go beyond operational asset views with inventory information, and integrate related information, including financial records and user services data. IT executives should justify comprehensive asset management solutions using business value assertions, to lead their enterprises to most advantageous use of resources for bottom-line gain.
