Joint AMI/CA White Paper: Striving to Achieve 100% Data Accuracy

March 25th, 2009

AMI and CA have jointly authored a white paper on developing asset tracking solutions that maximize asset data accuracy.  This White Paper takes you through the process of analyzing, designing and implementing asset tracking technology and process to keep your IT repositories accurate.

AMI/CA Joint White Paper – Striving to Achieve 100% Data Accuracy

As I’ve called out before in this blog, AMI’s reason for being is to enable enterprises to maximize the value of their asset management solutions by maintaining accurate data.  Millions of dollars are spent on IT management solutions, and without accurate data, the reporting and business intelligence coming from these systems is meaningless.  You need a robust and repeatable process for tracking rapidly changing asset information, and this white paper outlines the technology and processes you need to achieve this goal.

Enjoy.

AMI and Intermec have joined forces!

December 18th, 2008

AMI was recently selected by Intermec as an ISV provider partner. Intermec develops enterprise mobile computing equipment that is supported by AssetTrack. AssetTrack customers can now use Intermec mobile computing hardware for AssetTrack barcode and RFID scanning.

Intermec is a close neighbor of AMI. They are based in Edmonds, a short distance from AMI’s headquarters in Seattle. We look forward to working closely with Intermec to improve our software and offer our customers a greater selection of mobile computer hardware choices in the near future.

Intermec’s product offerings are top quality and we are excited to have them as a new partner.

The Container Store Case Study

October 31st, 2008

I’m pleased to announce that The Container Store has agreed to allow AMI to publish a case study about their AssetTrack implementation. A few months ago we implemented AssetTrack 3.0 down at The Container Store headquarters near Dallas, and integrated the software with their CA Unicenter Service Desk r11 installation.

Before AssetTrack, the customer was spending way too much time trying to update their asset database using spreadsheets. At one point they said, “There has to be a better way,” and shortly thereafter they discovered AssetTrack.

It took just three days to install the software, integrate it with Service Desk and provide end user training. No more manually keying in asset data as they try to keep up with their expanding business and rotating lease schedules. Now everything is point-and-shoot, extremely fast and accurate, and the customer can’t be happier with how easy it is to capture and update their asset data.

Read the full case study here.

And stay tuned for more happy AMI customer case studies in the near future!

Cheers,
Tom

CA World 2008

October 14th, 2008

Here at AMI we’ve been getting ready for the upcoming CA World 2008 conference next month where we intend to make a big splash as we announce AssetTrack 3.1, the certified barcode solution for Unicenter.  This new solution builds upon the success of AssetTrack 3.0, and adds many customer-requested features and enhancements we’ve heard about time and time again from our enterprise customers. 

We’ve been working hard on this new release, while simultaneously implementing the software at customers like the CA, the General Services Administration (GSA), the Container Store, Western Union, PA House of Representatives and a number of others.  This has kept me away from my blog, but I’m back and ready to announce the upcoming show.

We will be putting out a number of press releases and email marketing information over the coming weeks, so stay tuned for more about the upcoming AssetTrack 3.1 release! 

Speaking Engagements at CA World 2008

At CA World I will be giving two presentations on asset tracking solutions with Unicenter, focusing on barcode-based asset tracking solutions and outlining the roadmap for the next few years.  There will be two presentations, one discussing best practices for barcode asset tracking, and another joint presentation with CA where we will discuss the implementation of AssetTrack within the new CA ITAM program.

I look forward to seeing you all in Vegas next month.  It’s going to be a good and informative show.
