This document discusses the benefits of implementing an IT Asset Management strategy. Decentralized IT spending leads to inefficiencies, lack of insight into assets, and interoperability issues. An IT Asset Management strategy establishes policies, processes, and systems to efficiently plan, acquire, use, refresh, and retire all IT assets. This can reduce costs through standardization, volume purchasing, license reuse, and avoiding unnecessary spending. The document provides examples of cost savings areas and estimates that a typical organization could save over $800,000 annually through an IT Asset Management program.
This document discusses strategies for data protection and disaster recovery. It explains that disaster recovery aims to recover data after a disaster through procedures and policies, while business continuity focuses on minimizing interruptions through high availability systems. The key is to take a collaborative approach to create smart policies by defining the scope of applications and data to protect, the risks to plan for, and recovery time and point objectives, then selecting appropriate technologies to meet those objectives.

1) Natural disasters and outages cost businesses billions annually. Virtualization allows businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single machine, increasing efficiency. It also enables easy copying of "virtual machines" for offsite backup and fast disaster recovery.
2) With virtualization, applications and data can be restored in hours versus days for tape-based systems. Backup copies of virtual machines are fully maintained for quick failover.
3) Adopting a virtualization solution with a solid recovery plan can help businesses survive disasters by restoring systems within hours instead of closing due to extended outages.
This document discusses disaster recovery planning and provides an overview of key concepts:
1) Disaster recovery planning (DRP) involves planning and implementing procedures to allow essential systems to continue operating if disrupted for an extended period. It is driven by risk management and business continuity planning.
2) Business continuity planning (BCP) creates a logistical plan for how an organization will recover critical functions within a set time after a disaster.
3) A business impact analysis determines critical business functions to prioritize restoring, such as financial systems, HR/payroll, and IT infrastructure. DRP outlines the systems, services, and mediums needed to restore these functions within targeted timelines.

The document discusses the goals and benefits of implementing an Enterprise IT Asset Management (ITAM) system. An ITAM system aims to lower costs, increase technological agility, and improve cash management by managing the entire lifecycle of IT assets from acquisition to retirement. It outlines how an ITAM provides both static and dynamic insight into asset information to support goals like software license management, hardware refresh planning, and problem resolution. The vision is to seamlessly integrate asset data across procurement, accounting, support and other systems from the enterprise level down to the individual desktop.

(Beyond simplistic thinking and models)
This lecture is one of a series ‘Grand Challenge Subjects’ designed to make students think beyond, and challenge, the status quo; to question what they have been taught and the established industry wisdoms; to look beyond the tech media and journal papers; to think, be original, and be creative in the widest sense. This all culminates in a design and build/project program spread over several weeks.
The notion that the IoT will see everything connecting via the internet using a wireless domain dominated by 5G is not only simplistic, it is fundamentally impossible. A moments thought and a few simple calculations reveal that there is not enough energy on the planet to power 50 - 250Bn or more IoT devices operating in such a mode. So how are we really going to design and engineer the IoT to become a workable proposition? Here are some clues:
3/4G: Carries <5% of all internet traffic; WiFi ~55%; Wired LANs @ 45%
Mobile Network coverage is sadly lacking @ <90% by geography
Mobile Device batteries and charging are major limitations
The internet consumes ~12% of all our energy
Mobile Devices consume ~ 1% and rising
Mobile Nets consume ~ 10%
None of the above takes into account the cost of raw materials, production, distribution, delivery, support, disposal and the ecological impact of civil engineering, equipments, and people.
During this lecture the following surprising conclusions quickly emerge:
Most IoT devices will talk to each other and never connect to the internet
IoT devices will require a range of bandwidths and not just low bit rates
The majority of IoT devices will communicate over very short distance
Our current wireless architectures are outmoded by the IoT
We will most likely need something beyond UWB
The power per IoT device has to be <<1mW
Security will demand auto-immunity
This then is the starting point; from here we can design and engineer solutions for an, as yet, unspecified and dimensioned IoT fit for this century.

(Beyond simplistic thinking and models)
This lecture is one of a series ‘Grand Challenge Subjects’ designed to make students think beyond, and challenge, the status quo; to question what they have been taught and the established industry wisdoms; to look beyond the tech media and journal papers; to think, be original, and be creative in the widest sense. This all culminates in a design and build/project program spread over several weeks.
The notion that the IoT will see everything connecting via the internet using a wireless domain dominated by 5G is not only simplistic, it is fundamentally impossible. A moments thought and a few simple calculations reveal that there is not enough energy on the planet to power 50 - 250Bn or more IoT devices operating in such a mode. So how are we really going to design and engineer the IoT to become a workable proposition? Here are some clues:
3/4G: Carries <5% of all internet traffic; WiFi ~55%; Wired LANs @ 45%
Mobile Network coverage is sadly lacking @ <90% by geography
Mobile Device batteries and charging are major limitations
The internet consumes ~12% of all our energy
Mobile Devices consume ~ 1% and rising
Mobile Nets consume ~ 10%
None of the above takes into account the cost of raw materials, production, distribution, delivery, support, disposal and the ecological impact of civil engineering, equipments, and people.
During this lecture the following surprising conclusions quickly emerge:
Most IoT devices will talk to each other and never connect to the internet
IoT devices will require a range of bandwidths and not just low bit rates
The majority of IoT devices will communicate over very short distance
Our current wireless architectures are outmoded by the IoT
We will most likely need something beyond UWB
The power per IoT device has to be <<1mW
Security will demand auto-immunity
This then is the starting point; from here we can design and engineer solutions for an, as yet, unspecified and dimensioned IoT fit for this century.

2. 2
In general…
• Decentralized IT spending in the
absence of standards leads to
– inefficient spending without volume
purchase agreements
– lack of insight into what we possess
– severe interoperability problems
– low ability to implement modern
technological solutions
3. 3
Areas of common concern
- Process inefficiencies
“we spend too much and wait too long”
lack of standard processes
- Lack of asset insight
still paying taxes on assets long gone
- Lack of uniform support and supportability
help desk, back-ups
dueling DLLs...uninformed installs
- Lack of technological agility
migration planning
migration implementation (manual software
distribution)

Some
Potential
Quantitative
Benefits
11. 11
Total Cost of Ownership
• Annual TCO for a Desktop averages
between $10,000 and $12,000 annually
• 74% of Annual Costs are spent in
operating a desktop
– potentially upwards of $8K a year
• Most is generally not accounted for
separately
12. 12
Exposing Key Metrics
• The defined processes of IT Asset
Management expose savings potential
– Software Licenses
• Dollars saved by transferring licenses rather
than buying new ones
– Shadow support
• Having an 800# to call for application support
instead of using the engineer next door
– Asset Reallocation
• Dollars saved by avoiding capital acquisition
through redeployment
13. 13
Examples of Early Problems and
Resolutions
• Biggest issues
– Communication and currency of
configuration information
– Rapid delivery of orders
• Problem Resolutions
– All processes now documented
– We provide manufacturers with changing
configuration baselines
– We post configuration info on web in real-time
– We provide manufacturers with monthly
forecasting data
14. 14
Some General Lessons Learned
• Now have enterprise-wise prediction of IT
capital spending
– We are using that knowledge to standardize and
obtain volume purchase agreements
• Team approach has greatly assisted a major
cultural change
• Taken a long longer to get to this point than
we thought
• Plummeting desktop costs and rapidly
improving technology provides challenges
16. 16
Summary -- Benefits of ITAM
• Accurate Prediction and Control of IT Funds
• Foundation of asset insight
– Necessary to continuously migrate our
information technology
– Increased decision-support ability
• Reduced expenditures. For example,
– process efficiencies
– elimination of redundancy,
– decrease of license costs,
– increase of volume discounts,
– decrease of unnecessary property tax
Main points -
(point out main phases - and for each we have defined the major processes
we have a lot of detailed process description under this
important to note the integration of processes through the shared IT Asset Repository
- one process we have already seen implemented and seen benefit from is the IT Capital Planning (describe CIO approval and 33” monitor bean joke)
- inventory reconciliation can save money
I think this slide recaps most the benefits that we think will be readily attainable
