1.12 General procedure for considering the asset cost savings
By using JP1/IT Desktop Management 2, you can understand the cost involved in the operation of hardware assets and software licenses. JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 also supports your task when you assign unused assets to the users who need these assets or cancel any surplus licenses to save cost.
To understand the cost of hardware assets and software licenses and then manage the assets efficiently:
- 1. Review the monthly asset cost.
-
Review the cost trend report to identify high-cost hardware assets and software licenses. Cancel the contract that is no longer necessary. You need to specify the cost as a part of the contract information to generate the cost trend report.
- 2. Identify any unused assets.
-
Check for any hardware assets or software licenses that are not currently in use. If an unused asset is found, you can reduce the cost by canceling the contract that is no longer necessary.
- 3. Identify any surplus license.
-
Check whether you have purchased a new software license when you have a surplus. To prevent you from purchasing any unnecessary software license, thoroughly check the usage status of software licenses.
