Samantha/Overview

The System Asset Management System^TM – a.k.a. Samantha^TM is an innovative, patent-pending solution to infrastructure and service level management. Unlike generic asset management software solutions, Samantha overcomes the leading obstacle – system disuse due to data inaccuracies. Plus, Samantha is more cost-effective than bloated, enterprise competitive solutions.

The facts are clear that IT asset management techniques save money, and with infrastructure portfolios that cost millions, the savings opportunity is huge. Built specifically with the data center in mind, Samantha has the right combination to ensure your asset management program is a success.

Samantha has two closed-loops that ensure that you track all of your assets. Systems have a natural lifecycle, from acquisition, implementation, use, modification, decommission, and salvage. Samantha covers systems lifecycle to ensure that all assets are considered in the entire portfolio.

The second closed-loop is a proprietary integration that links systems to people. Infrastructure assets derive their value from the benefits they deliver to people. Businesses rely on that value, and Samantha organizes data in a proprietary fashion that relates your assets to the business.

Techniques such as counter-balancing user groups ensure data is accurate. Drop-down lists, field entry validations, and business logic checks help ensure the data is correct before it enters the system. Added features like EDI, custom reporting, and workflow creation bolsters the accuracy of the system and increases system value.

Samantha makes asset management an integral part of your operations. Rather than becoming boring, after-the-fact documentation, Samantha is a vibrant tool to help daily operations. As you learn the system potential, more people generally find value from the system. System administrators, financial professionals, purchasing staff, capacity planners, facilities staff, database administrators, IT managers and customer groups can get benefits from shared asset information.
