iET ITSM supports automated inventory and license management

ASCHHEIM, GERMANY, June 21, 2016 – iET Solutions, a division of UNICOM® Global, has received the PinkVERIFY™ certification for its ITIL®-aligned asset management process, part of the iET ITSM service management solution. This latest certification recognizes iET Solutions as one of only three companies worldwide that fully comply with the PinkVERIFY™ asset management requirement criteria.

With iET ITSM, iET Solutions now offers thirteen PinkVERIFY™ certified processes in one integrated solution. Two of these processes – service asset and configuration management (SACM) and asset management – provide significant support for companies that need to manage their software and hardware assets. Using the service asset and configuration management process, IT departments can take full control of their configuration items, components and attributes, including their interdependencies. The integrated automated variance comparison between the current IT infrastructure and configuration management database (CMDB) ensures that data is always up-to-date and correct, and database integrity is ensured.

Asset management
Asset management offers additional functionality for license management and maintains all its commercial aspects. Organizations can manage upgrade and downgrade rights, maintenance contracts, purchases and license sales as well as numerous license metrics such as, for example, per user, per device, per installation, concurrent use and rights for third party use. A traffic light system accurately controls and monitors the correct utilization and valid dates of software licenses.

Tobias Müller, Product Manager at iET Solutions, said, ”Pink Elephant developed this additional process certification – asset management – in response to increasing calls from the market for qualified solutions in this area. The fact that we fulfill all of the assessment criteria for the new certification option shortly after publication demonstrates how closely iET ITSM is aligned with the requirements of our customers and the wider market.”

PinkVERIFY™, an internationally recognized assessment of IT service management solutions, is developed and owned by Pink Elephant, a global training, consulting and service provider. PinkVERIFY™ was created in 1998 in order to help companies and organizations that are looking for ITIL®-aligned software, to implement ITIL® best practices.
