AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RF Code, a leading provider of active IT asset management and wire-free environmental monitoring solutions, today announced that it has partnered with IT Asset Management Solutions (ITAMS), a highly respected consulting and technology provider within the IT and Software Asset and Service Management industry. This alliance aims at providing joint customers with an innovative solution that provides real time tracking of their high-value IT assets such as laptops and servers. Through extensive knowledge of best practice and best of breed software automation and service options that complement its clients’ in-house skills and investments, ITAMS has built a 400+ strong client base, including many FTSE 100 organisations.
Physical IT asset tracking is fast becoming an important part of a company’s overall asset management programme. According to a leading industry analyst, approximately 30 per cent of a company’s asset inventory is unaccounted for. This can have a tremendous impact on the operations and purchasing departments within a company and serious corporate risk and security implications. Large companies with distributed IT assets, healthcare organisations with an expensive inventory of mobile equipment and data centres with rows of racks packed with servers, housing vital company data are just some of the kinds of organisations that are fast implementing physical IT asset tracking.
“Clients tell us that IT asset management has been a good investment for them because it helps to meet critical corporate governance and compliance requirements, as well as provide core asset control,” says Stephane Jansem, Managing Partner at ITAMS. In addition, says Jansem, “Clients are looking at ways to benefit more from the IT asset management platforms that are already in place. For organisations that have already made an investment in IT asset management, the addition of RF Code’s active RFID-based solutions provides real time asset visibility with a minimal additional investment. For instance, using RF Code’s active RFID technology, the systems can feed asset movement data into a barrier control system to alert operators if a tracked device is leaving a site without authorisation. RF Code offers the most flexible, open and cost effective active RFID platform to complement our solutions.”
Adrian Barker, European Sales Director for RF Code commented: “Partnering with ITAMS brings our technology to a whole new audience. We are pleased to be working closely with such a highly respected firm as we expand our presence in the UK.”
ITAMS and RF Code will be also conducting a number of joint outreach activities including webinars and educational white papers to highlight the advantages of integration between traditional IT asset management and new real-time physical asset tracking capabilities using complementary tools and processes.
RF Code is used by large financial, transportation, technology and health care organisations to track and manage their critical physical assets—across the extended enterprise down to the rack level in the data center. Leveraging active RFID hardware and management software, RF Code fully automates the entire tracking and managing process. This completely eliminates the time and cost it now takes to track and manage assets. Moreover, RF Code solutions also integrate with environmental data collection systems to help with capacity planning, accounting of assets from purchase through disposal, asset lifecycle management, asset security and energy management processes.
