There is great value to every organisation in gaining a comprehensive understanding of their agreement data. However, knowledge of the estate is enriched and more complete when agreement data is complemented with ‘as is’ discovered hardware and software assets. Through this agentless technology Abtech can support the customer to understand whether they’re consuming too much, too little, or not enough.
Armed with this business intelligence, Abtech can help customers’ identify needs that they may not know they had, from which they can (if required) establish a compliance position, transform the estate into a new platform, perform end of life decommissioning, identify key areas for efficiency planning, consolidations etc. - once a clear view of the customer’s as-is estate is established it is possible to undertake “what-if” planning and modelling and really provide depth to the customers understanding and management of their entire technology infrastructure.
This is made all the more feasible through Abtech. Abtech offers a turn-key discovery solution capable of discovering almost any asset from laptops to servers to ERP software, across almost any vendor. Where you already have one or more discovery tools, Abtechs’ solution has the intelligence to collate, cleanse and identify duplications to produce one single, powerful version of the truth, uniquely augmented with information regarding heat and power usage, size and weight.
The ability to visualise and pictorially navigate around the ‘as is’ estate communicates asset data in a way that is innovative and provides a new level of clarity for IT Estate Management. Assets can be ‘geo-tagged’ with location data or tagged against the organisational entity that owns the asset.
Where most IT asset management tools allow an organisation to model the “as is” world; Abtech provides the tools to model ‘would be’ changes to the estate’s hardware, software and usage and monitor cost and compliance implications.
For our clients, Abtech’s modelling service puts them in a strong position to plan future agreement negotiations, hardware purchases or migrations. They can consider the cost benefits of such diverse areas as buying new hardware and processors, increasing the number of users, the introduction of virtualisation etc. Abtech can then augment the models with costing and TCO information based on each scenario to report fully on the impact of each direction considered by the client.
Abtech provide a comprehensive and rapid compliance service ensuring licence clauses and multi-faceted contractual agreements are considered. Know that you are in control and have the information to prove your entitlements and use that information to help guide your procurement controls and decisions for the future. Abtech will advise on any opportunities uncovered where consolidation, migration, virtualisation or de-commissioning can drive greater performance and efficiency within your organisation.
