What gets measured gets done

• What gets measured gets done!

2
Environment Overview

• IT budgets are tight and will remain so
• The IT asteriod of 2001 left behind a skeptical
  tight fisted technology consumer
• Increased regulatory requirements
• Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPPA, Gramm-Leach and other
  Federal regulations have increased costs and
  liability
• A new e-Waste awareness
• The efforts of the EPA and activists groups have
  brought e-Waste to the center stage

3
The Challenge

• What assets are out there?
• How are they performing?
• What are they really worth?
• Which assets to refresh?
• Which assets to recycle?
• Whats the liability?

4
The Need for Reporting

• Its required for GovEd and many businesses
• Agencies and schools have technology reporting
  requirements, as does the private sector under
  SOX and other regulations
• The critical intelligence for managing,
  protecting and maximizing IT assets
• Effective management begins (and ends) with
  knowing what you have, how its performing and
  what its worth
• Its just common sense
• They are assetsthey should be treated that way

5
e-Cycling ReportingClosing the Gap

• Intelligent e-Cycling begins with Discovery.
  Historically, these activities have been
  partitioned
• The critical elements regarding the decision to
  e-Cycle are
• Know what you have
• Know what its worth (really worth) today
• Know how its performing

6
Discovery Defined

• The Bedrock of Best Practices
• Asset management is founded upon Discovery
• Properly, it is a deep view of IT assets
• Not just an inventory of IT assets
• Intelligence
• A core detail of assets, their performance value,
  and ideally, their CMV

Discovery Objectives

• Detail your assets relative to vested parties
• The technology camp has different needs from
  finance
• Test performance benchmarked to real criteria
• Set minimum requirements (today and tomorrow)
• Determine real Current Market Value
• Know where assets can be resold, not where you
  wish they could be sold

Discovery Methodologies

• Enterprise platforms/software applications
• Pro Well established. Deep, detailed results
• Con Expensive. Resource intensive
• Service Providers/Boutique providers
• Pro Custom results. Less expensive (ST)
• Con Obtrusive process. Time. Quality varies
  widely

12
Reporting Benefits(beyond satisfying
requirements)

• Take Control. It begins with intelligence
• Maximize resale value. Know the optimal time to
  resell
• Minimize refresh cost. Know exactly what is
  required system wide
• Increase technology budgets. Decrease budget
  variability
