IT asset management is a critical area for any organization, whether it’s a growing SME or a consolidated multinational.
Without a clear view of what technological resources exist, where they are, and in what condition, the risk of losing money, time, and security increases significantly.
Here we show you how Lansweeper, one of the market’s leading solutions, can help you control, optimize, and protect your IT infrastructure efficiently.
What is IT asset management?
IT asset management is the set of practices, processes, and tools that allow companies to identify, record, monitor, and optimize all technological elements within the organization.
It includes:
- Hardware: computers, servers, printers, routers, switches, mobile devices
- Software: installed applications, licenses, versions, and updates
- Cloud resources: virtual machines, storage, SaaS environments
- Network elements: IP addresses, configurations, topologies
The goal is to maximize the value of technology investment, avoid waste, and ensure all resources are aligned with business needs.
Why IT asset management is essential in 2025
The tech environment is evolving rapidly. Companies no longer rely solely on local servers but integrate hybrid clouds, remote work, and a wide variety of connected devices.
Without efficient management:
- Expenses are duplicated by purchasing unnecessary equipment or licenses
- Security risks increase by not detecting outdated or unauthorized software
- Productivity is lost when there’s no visibility of the infrastructure
