Maximize your Fixed Assets potential with tailored configurations!
Fixed Assets refer to the tangible and durable items that an organization acquires and utilizes for an extended period to support its IT infrastructure and operations. These assets are essential components of the organization's technology ecosystem and are managed strategically to optimize their value and lifespan.
Examples of Fixed Assets include Servers, Network Equipment, Desktop Computers, Laptops, Data Storage Systems, Telecommunication Systems, etc.
Fixed Asset Category configuration refers to the categorization and management of fixed assets associated with IT Assets.
This involves defining and organizing a hierarchical structure or taxonomy to classify different types of fixed assets within the IT Asset management system.
This configuration helps organizations keep track of accessory inventory, streamline procurement processes, and facilitate accurate reporting on asset usage and associated fixed assets.
