Asset Inventory
Collins Consulting, Inc.’s nationally dispersed team will help you understand what IT assets you have and where they are located.

Our Asset Inventory services include:

• External Inventory Services
  An external inventory provides a detailed report of all assets in the environment regardless of their utilization. We collect asset specific information available on the exterior of the asset as well as user demographic information including the precise location of the asset.

• Internal Inventory Services
  Provides a detailed list of installed software on each workstation, including manufacturer name and software titles with revision levels identified. The software database and associated reports provide a basis for an audit of current software licensing compliance. Information such as BIOS revision dates, installed memory, available hard disk space and software revision levels are also collected. Internal inventories can often be accomplished across your network eliminating the need to visit each desktop.
