Asset & CMDB
Altiris bouleverse la façon de concevoir la gestion des assets. La meilleure stratégie de gestion des assets informatiques combine l'activité de gestion de parc informatique avec l'activité de gestion des services de l'entreprise dans une architecture Web, un référentiel et une console uniques.
Altiris permet aux Entreprises de combiner le référentiel des assets et la gestion de configuration de la base de données (CMDB Configuration Management DataBase).

A NEW APPROACH to IT Asset Management
Until now, IT asset management software was developed to focus on a few things:

Keep track of what you own
Know where it is
Know how much it's costing you
This limits its value to other parts of the business, such as operations and IT services, and can lead to silos and turf wars over which group owns what processes and data, and diminished returns. By combining the IT asset management repository with the CMDB, and further integrating the tools that IT uses to manage systems and implement change, asset management becomes something that everyone is participating in, whether they know it or not.

INFORMATION YOU CAN USE
Not only can you have metrics that will help you prioritize projects and demonstrate the business value of keeping IT in-house, IT staff will have the data they need to understand how a given device is currently configured, what it's related to, and perhaps whether or not it's under warranty. They can also act on this information using any of the other integrated management tools that Altiris provides to execute change in a managed, repeatable way.

Is there really any other way?
