Highlights of the New USU IT Asset Management Platform

We understand that managing IT assets especially in complex settings requires a solution that doesn’t just keep up—it leads. That’s why I’m excited to share the highlights of our new USU IT Asset Management (ITAM) platform, a transformative step forward in how organizations can achieve transparency, efficiency, and control.

Rethinking ITAM for Tomorrow’s Needs

Traditional IT asset management solutions often focus solely on technology. But technology alone can’t solve the diverse, real-world challenges organizations face. That’s why we’ve reimagined our Software Asset Management (SAM) approach to be use case driven.

This means we’re delivering all available technologies to all customers, letting you decide which use cases matter most. Whether it’s optimizing SaaS subscriptions, reducing software vulnerabilities, or managing hardware lifecycles, the power is in your hands to configure a solution that fits your unique needs.

Our new platform integrates everything into one seamless experience:

• One User Interface (UI) for simplicity.
• One user management system for efficiency.
• Modern data integrations for adaptability.

This isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a whole new way of thinking about IT asset management.

What’s in the Platform?

We’ve designed the new ITAM portfolio to cover every angle of IT management. Here’s a quick look at what’s available:

Built for Efficiency, Powered by Innovation

USU ITAM is designed to address the visibility gap that plagues so many organizations. Analyst research shows that 70% of companies lack transparency in software usage, licenses, and costs—a problem we’re committed to solving.

Our new ITAM portfolio goes beyond traditional capabilities. Here’s what sets it apart:

• Smarter Features: Advanced reporting and automation provide better insights, saving time and effort.
• AI-Driven Tools: From instant chatbot support to automated software recognition, we’re using AI to simplify and accelerate processes.
• Uncompromising Security: A zero-trust architecture and ISO27001-certified data centers ensure your data and systems are always secure.
• Scalability and Flexibility: Whether you prefer SaaS or Kubernetes-based on-premises deployments, we’ve got you covered.

Why This Matters

Our goal is simple: to help you spend only what you need and manage only the assets you use. We believe IT asset management should empower businesses, not burden them. With our new portfolio, you can optimize costs, minimize risks, and gain the transparency you need to make informed decisions—all while maintaining control over your hybrid IT estate. Our solutions are complemented by deep integrations with IT service management (ITSM) systems like ServiceNow, enabling seamless data enrichment and improved visibility across ITAM and CMDB systems.
