Purpose

The decision to purchase Snow Atlas rooted in
the strategic need to enhance both software and hardware asset
management within the organisation. Snow Atlas provides a
comprehensive solution that not only addresses our software asset
management needs but also significantly improves our hardware asset
management capabilities.
Benefits for Software Asset Management:
• Ensures accurate tracking, management, and optimisation of
software licenses across our IT infrastructure.
• Facilitates compliance with licensing agreements, reducing
the risk of non-compliance and associated penalties.
• Enables proactive identification of unused or underutilised
software licenses, leading to cost savings and efficiency
improvements.
Benefits for Hardware Asset Management:
• Enhances visibility into the entire lifecycle of hardware
assets, from procurement to disposal.
• Streamlines hardware inventory management, reducing the risk
of errors and improving accuracy.
• Enables proactive maintenance and replacement planning for
hardware assets, optimising their lifespan and reducing
downtime.
Integration with ITSM Connector:
Snow Atlas seamlessly integrates with our IT Service Management
(ITSM) system through the ITSM connector.
This integration enhances the overall efficiency of our IT
operations by providing a unified platform for managing both
software and hardware assets.
The ITSM connector facilitates real-time communication between
asset management and service management, ensuring that IT support
and service delivery are aligned with the organisation's asset
landscape.
This decision aligns with the Council's objectives to improve
efficiency, ensure compliance, achieve cost savings and enhance
overall IT service delivery.
