Application Note: RFID IT Asset Management

In today's enterprise, data centers often contain an insurmountable amount of IT assets. For most organizations, managing those assets is an expensive and time consuming task. According to an Aberdeen survey of lost IT assets1, roughly 50 percent of all companies utilize manual labor for intensive and errorprone processes to conduct inventory and track IT assets — a less than prudent use of this highly skilled staff. Even with enterprise asset management systems in place , staff are typically required to physically handle each asset and manually record asset information, configurations and inspection notes greatly increasing the chance for error.
