Before investing in IT asset management software, make sure you've defined your business processes and policies. Without doing so, you'll be flying blind. And don't be put off by the initial up-front investment; investing in a good asset management tool can save your company real money over time. When it's time to make a choice, investigate all of your choices carefully, because not all are alike. Different products have different features: some are more solution-in-a-box while others are more customizable.
