1.0 Overview

Asset management is the process of receiving, tagging, documenting, and eventually disposing of equipment. It is critically important to maintain an up to date inventory and asset controls to ensure computer equipment locations and dispositions are well known.  Lost or stolen equipment often contains sensitive data. Proper asset management procedures and protocols provide documentation that aid in recovery, replacement, criminal, and insurance activities.
