The Barcode Advantage in IT Asset Management Software

Are your IT Assets barcoded? Adding barcode technology can take a SharePoint-based IT Asset Management program to another level. Barcoding greatly eases asset intake, check-in/check-out, audits, inventory, and integration with service tickets.

The Benefits of Using Barcoding for SharePoint IT Asset Management

Barcoding can offer immediate access to large amounts of data relating to each asset, whether that data is in SharePoint or other databases. Physical location, acquisition and utilization information, as well as the scheduling of maintenance and upgrades can all be accessed quickly, accurately, and cost effectively.

Barcoding can be used with a SharePoint-based IT Asset Management program to help your IT Department effectively and efficiently manage the equipment vital to the business’s operations. When the asset management program is used with an IT Helpdesk for SharePoint, the combination leverages the collaborative power of SharePoint to provide a powerful way to establish and maintain high levels of service to your organization.
