OnEdge Device Tracker
OnEdge Device Tracker provides control over every IT asset within an organization. Knowing who is using a devices (e.g. laptop, USB Drive), where it was last seen and what information is on the device has become critical in meeting compliance.
Consider the methods you use now to manage your equipment:
- Manual data entry,
- Manual recording of serial numbers at every inventory, and
- Paper records and spreadsheets -- that rarely match reality.
The process is prone to errors. It's often incomplete. If an organization has only a few hundred dollars worth of equipment to track, the risk of loss and confusion is low. However, most organizations have equipment numbering in the hundreds and thousands. In fact, the quantity and value often surprise enterprise owners and managers.
Determining where a particular piece of equipment is located at a particular time is a difficult but critical job. Hundreds of thousands of dollars -- in some cases millions -- are at stake, to say nothing of the important data, some perhaps confidential, residing on mobile devices.
OnEdge Device Tracker helps businesses manage and locate their IT assets anytime, anywhere.
