43% of IT professionals report using spreadsheets as one of their resources for tracking assets, according to Ivanti.

Another time-intensive process for IT professionals is dealing with out-of-warranty/out-of-support-policy assets, with 28% of respondents reporting they spend hours per week supporting these assets.

"While IT teams are starting to better track their assets, collaborating with other teams and understanding the benefits of combining asset and service processes, time and money advantages are being lost as they don't have the data they need to effectively manage and optimize their assets and services."

According to the survey, IT professionals are also somewhat dissatisfied with the available asset information, or data, they have access to within their organizations.

This means more than 60% of IT professionals are missing key information in their IT asset management program to effectively manage their IT assets from cradle to grave.
