Description

The Asset Management process at Sacred Heart University enables the IT Procurement team to efficiently manage, track, and optimize university-owned technology assets throughout their life cycle.

This includes:

• Procurement and deployment
• Ongoing tracking and reassignment
• Life cycle planning and refresh time lines
• Maintenance and support coordination
• Retirement and disposal of outdated or broken assets

Asset management helps ensure compliance with university policies and maximizes the value of every device in service.
