Key Challenges

The client faced challenges with inefficient asset management processes, notably regarding hardware refresh procedures and inconsistent asset data accuracy.

	Manual processes hindered the efficiency of hardware refresh workflows, prompting the need for automation to empower users with timely notifications and enhance decision-making.

The Result

Efficient asset refresh workflow
Implemented during Phase I of the Landmark: Asset Management roadmap, the near-Zero Touch Refresh workflow enables our client to seamlessly fulfill asset refresh requests from employees. Integrations with CDW and Dell eliminate the need for maintaining a local inventory of new assets. Employees receive timely notifications of their refresh eligibility based on hardware model lifecycles and can effortlessly request a refresh of their hardware assets through near-Zero Touch Refresh requests.

Improved data accuracy and trustworthiness
Through data integration feeds with CDW, Dell, and SCCM, our client has experienced a substantial improvement in the accuracy of end-user workstation asset data. The new automated workflow not only streamlines processes but also instills greater trust in the integrity of their asset data, laying a solid foundation for informed decision-making.
