TCS ERP on Cloud for SAP Landscape Migration and Modernization
Highlights
- Distributed environments and limited inventory records make tracking and managing IT assets challenging.
- Without a robust IT asset management (ITAM) system, businesses risk overspending, asset wastage, regulatory and licensing violations, and inefficient IT operations.
- TCS Enterprise Manager’s ITAM capabilities include four core components—configuration management database, license management, hardware asset management (HAM), and software asset management (SAM).
- It offers a unified view of IT assets, enables asset usage optimization, identifies cost-saving opportunities, and ensures compliance with licensing policies and regulatory requirements.
Challenges
Organizations struggle to obtain complete visibility of their IT assets due to inaccurate and limited inventory records and difficulty tracking assets across multiple teams, departments, and locations. This leads to operational inefficiencies, asset wastage, overspending, and compliance risks. Violation of licensing agreements can result in significant penalties, leading to reputational damage and impact on the company's financials.
The right ITAM tool can help create a comprehensive inventory, optimize asset utilization, and strengthen cost reduction efforts. Furthermore, integration with ITSM and related platforms enables efficient IT operations.
