iLAYO Software Solutions has announced the formation of a specialised team of consultants to tackle the problem of poor asset management in the private and public sectors.
The team comprises professionals experienced in the disciplines of enterprise asset management, IT service management and IT governance.
"Organisations in both the public and private sector lose millions each year because they manage their assets poorly," says Inana Nkanza, MD of iLAYO Software Solutions.
"Not only does efficient asset management save companies money, but it enables them to make optimal use of their assets and thereby better serve their customers."
He adds that as an IT service provider, iLAYO finds enterprises rarely derive real benefits from their asset management and IT governance solutions. The organisational leadership realises it needs to implement these processes, but does not have the resource or skills capability to do so effectively.
"And because asset management is not a core competency for most companies, the solutions purchased end up as shelf-ware, or as applications someone has the best intentions of using at some stage of their career. By making a team of experts available to the market, iLAYO is providing a needed core competency on an as-needed basis."
The team provides a full set of services to customers, including pre- and post-implementation consulting and support, as well as the necessary services during the installation process. If required, the teams will also provide the service on an ongoing basis to manage the implementation and ensure it continues to operate at optimal efficiency.
The benefits business will receive from this service include the ability to jointly define its governance and asset management processes according to international best practices, without having to employ the relevant resources. In addition, the outsourced team will ensure the high standards applied during the installation process are maintained, delivering a direct and ongoing return on investment.
Government can use the service to overcome its chronic shortage of skills and see that its many assets are professionally managed and accounted for. Not only will the service improve asset management, but it will also help to reduce losses due to theft.
Putting its money where its mouth is, iLAYO is offering two costing models. Companies can choose to pay for the cost of the service, or they may opt for a shared risk approach in which they are charged a discounted price, and thereafter pay iLAYO a share of the savings gained from implementing efficient asset management and IT governance processes. The service is available now.
