Forrester's latest report on US IT Asset Life-Cycle Management features LANDesk software from Avocent |
|

Avocent has announced that its LANDesk Asset Lifecycle Manager software was among the selected solutions Forrester invited to participate in the Forrester Wave: US IT Asset Life-Cycle Management, Q2 2009 report. In this evaluation, LANDesk Asset Lifecycle Manager scored near perfect in key criteria such as procurement management, physical management, and vendor management.
LANDesk Asset Lifecycle Manager (ALM) was introduced into the desktop market in fall 2008. It provides a structured asset repository that extends the management of an organisation's hardware and software assets from before the asset arrives in the enterprise to beyond its retirement. This extended management helps reveal the true value of IT systems to allow better planning decisions, informed business analysis, and improved business capacity.
'ALM gives customers the ability to truly have a handle on critical IT data: which assets exist, where they are, when they were acquired, and when they will be retired. Even interdependencies are fully realised - such as determining when software licenses can be abandoned or identifying which assets could be a security risk," said Steve Workman, vice president of product management in Avocent's LANDesk group. "This enables companies to stay secure, eliminate redundancies, and recover lost revenues."
Forrester's report evaluated vendors based on their expertise in asset management. The evaluation used 81 criteria based on data from client interviews and vendor surveys.
