Technology Asset Management

A significant amount of time each year goes into keeping track of things and planning ahead.   The technology office manages a large number desktops, laptops, wireless access points, network switches, printers, projectors, servers, computer accounts, information systems, sound systems and wiring needs across campus.   After attending a focus group on this topic at the edAccess conference this summer, we are completely revamping how we do things.   We are integrating our traditional inventory lists with our budgeting and purchase planning documents.   Tearing apart existing processes is a lot of work now, but when we are done we will be able to produce project lists, purchasing lists, and communicate with users about future plans much more efficiently.
