As corporate purse strings get increasingly tightened in this period of downturn, the need for organisations to perform IT fixed asset tracking is becoming more of a priority.It is the IT manager whose role is to manage this process of auditing and tracking IT assets.I have dealt with many IT managers in the past, from a wide range of different organizations, and below is a brief summary of the methods they used to track IT assets.
Spreadsheets A surprisingly large number of organizations still seem to be relying on the manual method of listing all of their fixed asset data in in an enormous spreadsheet. The procedure goes along the following lines. The initial spreadsheet is built up with a manual audit of every piece of equipment and software in the company.The most commonly recorded information includes location, name of staff member using the item, purchase date, model and serial numbers and warranty details.Whenever new computer equipment or software is bought in the organization, this needs to be included on the asset register. The basic issue with spreadsheets is lack of scalability.You can imagine how such a spreadsheet would grow to unmanageable proportions as an organization gets bigger.Organizations using the spreadsheet technique also tend not to be able to react effectively to changes in the state of IT assets, such as repairs, depreciation, licenses and getting rid of equipment.The entire sytem stands or falls on usually one person being fastidious with its upkeep.
Barcode Labels & RFID Asset barcodes have been around for a while and are step up from manual data entry – each asset is given a specific barcode which stores all the relevant information from the asset register.A handheld barcode scanner is generally used to scan these asset tags, so that information can quickly and efficiently be obtained an update during regular asset audits. Radio Frequency Idenfitication, or RFID, is a step up because it allows hardware audits to be perfomed remotely. More importantly, RFID tracking allows greater flexibility for increasingly mobile equipment such as laptops and PDAs.
Asset Management Software There are a good choice of semi-automated and customized asset management software solutions which take a lot of the pain out of the process. I have come across some companies who have created their own custom asset database using SQL and linking this to the intranet to allow multi-user administration. At the most sophisticated end of the scale is specialised “asset management software” (Google it and you’ll see the wide range of options!) covering the tracking, accounting and reporting of ALL fixed assets, not just IT assets, including property, machinery and vehicles. There are also specially designed solutions to meet the growing plethora of asset accounting and tax regulations that companies need to meet – such as Sarbanes Oxley compliance. The beauty of this integrated approach is it combines the needs of several departments including IT, accounting and management, to allow for a larger budget and amore robust solution.
If you have any other solutions your company uses for asset tracking, I’d be interested to read your comments.
All of the technology and business people I regularly talk to keep mentioning cloud computing. But what is it, what is the impact on business and what are the monetary and obvious benefits?
Cloud means Internet. The computing takes place on the Internet – instead of the software you use being installed on your computer, it’s hosted on the Internet on a server located in a data centre commonly staffed by people who are experts in managing technology. This type of “cloud” software is commonly known as “on demand” or Software as a Service (SaaS).
Some best of breed examples of well established Software as a Service are:
There are a number of significant benefits for every business here:
Time, cost savings and reliability
Businesses do not require a permanent IT professional to help them select, implement and support the technology infrastructure thus decreasing operating expenses and time to implement. The effort of continuosly backing up information is removed as this is almost always an inherent feature of the “cloud” software. Cloud software “operators” normally have fail over systems that can be switched on in seconds should a major error occur.
Easier selection and wider choice
Using a web browser, businesses now have instant access to a massive choice of software packages they can in the majority of cases immediately test and rapidly determine if the software fulfils their needs at no expense. This makes it effective for people in large enterprises to get around the restrictive information technology procurement processes and easily test and prove their business proposal.
Superior user experience
The cloud provides instant feedback to software designers and has driven significant progress in user interface design resulting in more intuitive systems thus lowering learning times and improving user satisfaction. This of course means faster adoption and better productivity.
I lead an internet company that provides help in the form of small business management and accounting software tools and know-how to thousands of startups and small businesses worldwide and whenever I explain to people what I do, I consistently get asked the same question “Given my skills and experience, how could I apply it and make regular money by becoming a small business consultant”? I am always delighted to supply advice as I am fortunate enough to spend best part of my day talking to small business owners and workers enthusiastic to share their problems and needs.
Here are my standard answers which I hope you will find useful:
The online world is the perfect medium for finding customers and it makes it simple to speak to them and sell your expertise. A lot of small businesses turn to the internet to find knowledge or trusted advisors who can provide them with direction and help them resolve key challenges.
Information marketing – package and sell your expertise to businesses through the Internet
What I am about to tell you doesn’t just apply to small businesses. You can repackage and sell your expertise in a electronic format such as video, audio or documents. The systems to make high quality material are widely available on the net. Producing a tutorial in easy to consume internet formats is now easy and affordable. You just have to be prepared to dedicate a small amount of time getting to know the software. The mission here is to produce some valuable material that you can either sell or give away to customers to encourage them to do business with you.
You should start by deciding what you want to achieve. Consultancy and Information marketing go hand in hand and if you do both can be very profitable as the consultancy will provide you with the questions, the answers to which repurpose for sale through the internet and sold over and over again.
If you are starting from scratch with no customers but have expertise you know would be needed by others then produce a very short video to introduce yourself and your expertise to your potential client(s). Unless you know the target(s) exact problem then make the video generic and stick tothe following format – S.T.A.R (Situation or Task, Action, Result). Be creative and concise. Now upload the video to your website/blog or even YouTube if you don’t have the former and send the target(s) an invitation by e-mail containing a personal message and a link to the video. Follow this up with a phone call. If you know the specific nature of the target(s)problem then don’t make the video public, just put it somewhere secureon the Web or even on a disk and post it, again follow up with a call.
This method is ideally suited to situations where you are individually targeting potential client(s). You should always focus on building a list you can interact with and make sales to. Continual interaction with your list will reveal peoples needs that will help you define what to sell. The more people on your list the more consulting and information marketing opportunities you will discover. If you would like to discover more about how to do this then click on any of the links in this article. I would be happy to help you.
This article will show you what practical help and support an accpountant will – and won’t – give you, and how they offer their services.
More and more these days people expect service from professional advisres that differs from the adviser’s expectations – none more so than accountants.Many expect accountants to only charge a small fee, even after working lengthy hours saving them large sums of money.They may even expect their accountant to turn a blind eye to tax evasion.
But these hopes will not be fulfilled! Chartered Accountants are professionals, who have a duty to maintain professional standards, so they certainly will not ‘encourage’ tax evasion and will actively tell you that you are breaking the law if you do evade due taxes.An accountant will also charge at a professional services rate, which isn’t going to be the smallest of fees.
You can expect good service looking at how to maximise your money so you don’t pay too much tax or miss out on any savings. Chartered Accountants abide by professional ethics and codes of conduct, service agreements, so you can expect your accountant to return phone calls, be reasonably available and give you advice about the state of your company or your books, how things are going and perhaps offer some directional advice about ensuring that you maximise profits for the year ahead.
Almost all accountants will argue that a good accountant will save you money.They will make sure your tax bill is as low as possible, taking into account all the available tax breaks you can.They will also help somewhat regarding investing money and similar matters. But accountants do not have a crystal ball, so they are not able to tell you what is a ‘safe place’ to put your money and what is not, although they may have a fair idea, the recent recession ahs shown that suddenly investments can become precarious, without anyone thinking that this was indeed the case.
So an accountant in Wales can certainly help you in lots of different ways and you should look forward to a good, productive professional relationship.
