What makes it Innovative? Unlike its predecessors Avocent's LANDesk® Asset Lifecycle Manager goes beyond the simple tracking of assets to provide a structured repository extending the management of a company's hardware and software assets through their complete lifecycle - from before procurement to beyond end of life.

Accurate asset knowledge, accountability, and control are crucial to enhanced business value. Most organizations track their assets, but LANDesk Asset Lifecycle Manager goes beyond just tracking. It’s a structured asset repository that extends the management of your organization’s hardware and software assets by starting before the asset exists and going beyond when the asset is retired.

  • Aggregate data from multiple sources such as your service desk, finance program, systems management, etc.
  • Organize that data by department or cost center to use in research and planning
  • Maintain a service history for each asset to help collect cost and maintenance data over time
  • Have approvals and task flow handled automatically
  • Use the same process every time, with data customized to the specific request
  • Control the information that appears in each user’s interface according to that user’s role and scope
  • Utilize version control and easily update
  • Access full audit history that tracks all status changes, actions, times, people, and dates
