Which IT assets should be included in the IT Asset inventory?
Ideally, all hardware and software assets should be included in the inventory, but the most important assets to include are
- hardware assets that are depreciable over time; AND
- software assets subject to license requirements.
By tracking hardware that is depreciable over time, a company can ensure it is accurately recapturing the lost value of its assets, and by tracking the software on the hardware assets, a company can ensure that it has acquired sufficient licenses for its requirements and that it has not acquired any licenses that are unused.
