IT asset management - 

what is it and how can you benefit from it?

IT asset management ensures that the relevant data from all important IT components are recorded centrally and in a structured way. But which data are relevant and what are important IT components?

As often in life the answer is: It depends on the perspective. Each group of users in the company has different priorities. As an IT administrator, you need a flexible technical documentation. First and foremost, you want to know which devices are available. You are interested in what software is installed on them and whether the patch level is up to date. You value flexibility and depth of detail in order to store a version or a model designation. And you will see in a moment that this is not the only perspective on IT documentation. As an employee of the purchasing department you might want to know if there are still enough devices available if the HR department wanted to onboard new people. 

With docupike, you can document all your assets in a flexible, reliable SaaS solution that can be accessed from anywhere. In addition to IT and system components, docupike is also able to record all components of the infrastructure such as buildings and rooms and display them in a structured manner as a tree structure. All existing, planned and ongoing contracts can be recorded centrally with all contract and service data and linked to contractual partners, users and service objects.

For the documentation of networks, docupike offers a clear IP address management. Systems can be added to a created network to obtain a clear representation of their network. This allows you to determine free and occupied IP addresses in no time at all. This supports you in the planning and implementation of new systems and helps you to quickly determine relationships and dependencies between network components when faults occur.

Does your documentation still consist of Excel sheets or a makeshift wiki service that provides pretty much everything except helpful information? Do you still have an overview of what is really up-to-date in the numerous documents? Can you track changes to systems and configurations? Can you recognize and assign correlations between different devices? If not, you should consider whether it is time to introduce an efficient central documentation tool.

At the same time, you don't have to worry about maintenance or updates. docupike was developed to enable the documentation of any kind of information and to make this information centrally usable for managers and teams.

→ which services the device provides or needs, if any
→ which parts of the network it accesses
