Hardware Inventory

What is Hardware Inventory?
Hardware inventory refers to the systematic recording and maintenance of all hardware components used, including technical data, locations, statuses and contract information. It forms the data basis for maintenance, support and lifecycle management.

Classification: Benefits and dependencies
A hardware inventory is required in almost all IT organizations, especially in asset, maintenance and contract management. The advantage lies in complete transparency of the infrastructure and its dependencies. Risks arise from incomplete or outdated inventory data, which can lead to wrong decisions or SLA violations. The added value is reflected in more efficient maintenance planning, faster troubleshooting and well-founded decisions in the TPM and managed service context.
