What is IT asset management?
IT asset management, or ITAM, tracks and manages technology assets throughout their lifecycle. It combines inventory, ownership, financial, contractual, location, maintenance, and retirement information so organizations can use assets efficiently and make informed purchasing decisions.
A unified IT asset inventory
Oravuno can correlate discovered hardware, software, virtual, cloud, and network assets with procurement records, vendors, purchase orders, contracts, warranties, renewals, owners, and configuration records.
Asset lifecycle management
Oravuno supports the full technology asset lifecycle: planning and acquisition, deployment and assignment, active maintenance, contract and warranty renewal, and controlled retirement or disposal. Each lifecycle stage remains connected to the asset’s observed technical state, owner, cost, vendor, relationships, and risk.
ITAM capabilities
- Automated asset discovery and record correlation.
- Standard and custom asset fields.
- Ownership, location, role, and lifecycle status.
- Purchase orders, vendors, contracts, warranties, and renewals.
- Cost and total ownership context.
- Relationships between assets and business services.
- Change history and security exposure in the same record.
ITAM, CMDB, and security together
Traditional lifecycle records become more useful when connected to observed infrastructure. Oravuno links ITAM data with CMDB relationships, security findings, cloud and network observations, and approved changes to reduce stale records and improve decisions.
