IT experts, ask yourselves these two questions: “What assets do I have? And how am I using them?” If you’re having trouble answering, know that you’re not alone.
IT organizations of all shapes and sizes are struggling with the ever-growing tech stack — and software is no exception. Between the users, the technology, and all the related licenses, organizations now require more visibility into their existing software in order to better manage usage and maximize their investments.
And new requirements call for a new approach to asset management — a smarter approach. Here’s where Cisco Smart Accounts enter the story. A Smart Account, simply put, gives IT an automated way to collect and manage all its Cisco assets in one place. It’s like a bank account for licenses, enterprise and utility agreements, and more.
