Common questions about campus asset management in Manchester
What is IT asset management for schools and universities?
IT asset management for education involves tracking all technology assets - laptops, tablets, projectors, lab equipment - across campuses. It includes knowing where devices are, who has them, their condition, warranty status, and when they need replacement.
