Whether technical assets like laptops and mobile devices, organizational assets like keys and chip cards, commercial assets like car leases and rail cards or contractual assets like mobile phone contracts and magazine subscriptions - they can all be managed together in Unified Asset Management. This ensures comprehensive transparency, showing “who has what” with one click. The integration of IT Asset Management (ITAM) or Software Asset Management (SAM) with other asset classes creates exciting analysis possibilities. The Asset Manager always remains up-to-date, as it is largely self-maintaining thanks to integration with various data sources and automated processes.

Discrepancies, e.g. in software compliance or in the use of telephones, become visible and can therefore be corrected. In addition, the time required to collect, update, verify, merge and analyze data is significantly reduced. With the Asset Manager as a database, automated processes can be implemented, further reducing costs.

The complete recording of all assets, including freeware, forms a reliable basis for security measures. Thanks to its comprehensive options for providing data in a wide range of areas, the Asset Manager also enables good preparation for external audits. For example, the complete hardware and software directories for ISO 27001 certification are created.

Unified Asset Management makes the company's overall requirements transparent with one click, providing a profound planning basis for “what-if” scenarios and cost accounting. With the Asset Manager, you can improve your negotiating position with manufacturers and suppliers and reduce costs by making better use of existing assets.
A holistic approach to asset management offers synergies and opens up new forms of process automation. The data generated by IT about IT assets and user structures also provides a good basis for the structured management of non-IT assets. Since many processes span various physical and intangible asset classes, comprehensive management makes a lot of sense. For example, for the on-boarding and off-boarding of employees. IT assets, organizational assets such as keys or key cards, and business traveler items such as rail cards, company credit cards, or magazine subscriptions all have to be assigned or withdrawn from individuals.

What is Unified Asset Management in the company?
Unified asset management in a company is a holistic approach to the efficient management of all assets that are important for business operations. It includes not only traditional IT assets such as computers and software, but also physical and intangible assets such as office furniture, licenses, company credit cards or leasing contracts. This universal approach means that all assets can be managed via a central platform, which enables better transparency and control.
Why is asset management considered increasingly complex in the modern working world?
Advancing digitalization in companies is leading to a steadily increasing number of assets. Every employee now needs a variety of technical devices such as laptops, tablets and smartphones. Cloud services with individual subscriptions are also on the rise. New employee incentives such as gym contracts and magazine subscriptions are further assets. The trend towards working from home is not only increasing the need for these resources, but is also increasingly shifting them out of the corporate environment. As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain an overview and there is a growing lack of up-to-date and comprehensive data for analyses and decisions. At the same time, complexity is increasing due to new asset classes and platforms. As a result, the cost of managing assets is increasing and the efficiency of their administration is decreasing.
How does Unified Asset Management by audius compare to other solutions?
The Asset Manager offers a universal and holistic approach to managing all conceivable assets. This includes technical assets such as laptops and cell phones, organizational assets such as keys and chip cards, commercial assets such as car leases and rail cards, and contractual assets such as mobile phone contracts and magazine subscriptions. The integration of ITAM and SAM with other asset classes creates comprehensive analysis options. The platform enables comprehensive transparency at the touch of a button, is up-to-date, timely and largely self-maintaining thanks to the connection to various data sources and automated processes.
How does the Asset Manager promote compliance, legal conformity and security?
The Asset Manager promotes compliance, legal conformity and security by quickly creating a clean and holistic database that proves legally compliant licensing and use. This high readiness to provide information is particularly advantageous for external checks and audits. Even freeware is fully recorded, which provides a reliable basis for security measures. The Asset Manager is also certified in accordance with ISO 19770-1 for ITAM and SAM, which supports risk minimization, compliance and security. Transparency across the system landscape and critical assets can reduce the risk of problems and increase security.
Why does the Asset Manager provide a better basis for planning and decision-making?
By making the company's overall requirements transparent and available for evaluation with one click, the Asset Manager enables clear decision-making in purchasing and management, simplifies cost accounting and allows organizational processes to be optimized. It serves as a profound planning basis for what-if scenarios and cost calculations. It also improves the negotiating position with manufacturers and suppliers. By optimizing the use of existing assets, costs can also be significantly reduced and unnecessary costs for duplicate purchases avoided.
