Automating the management of IT assets has become a necessity for many companies!
Regardless of your company's size and industry, you are probably faced with managing an increasingly complex and costly IT estate. As a result, you need to pay constant attention to ensure optimal use of your IT resources.
To meet these challenges, automating IT asset management is an effective solution that optimizes system performance and security, improves employee productivity and reduces IT maintenance costs.
In this article, we will explore the benefits of automating enterprise IT management.

Why automate the management of your IT assets?
Here are the top 6 reasons why you should automate your IT asset management 🙂
Benefit 1: Reduced maintenance and monitoring costs
Automating your managed services tasks (the maintenance and monitoring of your IT infrastructure) is a good way to reduce human costs: the salaries you have to pay to IT experts and the skills you have to help them maintain.
This cost reduction leads to a cascade of positive effects for your company:
- increase your company's margin ,
- which translates into a better ability to invest in other important activities (such as your business development, your marketing, or your R&D),
- with, in fine, an important benefit: a better competitiveness of your company!
And the cost savings are potentially significant - up to about 50% of your current IT asset management costs.
Advantage 2: Improve your IT security
You also gain in the efficiency of your fight against cybercrime, when you decide to automate your outsourcing.
Indeed, thanks to automation, you can be sure that all the actions necessary to guarantee your IT security are carried out correctly and without delay.
And at a time when cybersecurity is a key issue for the health of companies, this is an equally important advantage!
Advantage 3: Benefit from centralized management
We often observe somewhat disorganized management methods in companies where we are intervening for the first time.
The third key benefit of automating your IT asset management, centralizing it, brings you many associated advantages:
- homogenization of processes and software,
- central point of control of the operations,
- centralization of key information,
- faster and more targeted interventions, on all workstations and connected devices,
- ease of distribution of roles and tasks in the team...
In fact, with an all-in-one outsourcing platform like Rzilient, you get a true tower of control for your IT assets, which is also fully automated !
Advantage 4: Save time
As you can see, the automation we describe in this article will save you a lot of time.
You will be able to concentrate your team's efforts on tasks with real added value for the development of your company.
And by automating, it is also easier for you to outsource the few high-level technical tasks that may still be necessary.
Advantage 5: Increase the productivity of your teams
But that's not all. Automating also means allowing your IT people to focus on the essential tasks, and to exercise their skills to the fullest, rather than spending time on tasks of limited interest.
Your IT teams will thank you by being more motivated and productive!
Imagine the difference between asking your IT person to :
- spend several working days updating a standard software (the Office suite, for example), on all the company's workstations (easily automated task),
- or ask him to invest this time in developing a specific tool for your company, which you really need, and which will save you time and money.
What do you choose 🙂
Benefit 6: Optimize IT performance
And finally, equipping your company with a Managed Services Automation platform also means access to very powerful features.
For example, one of the added values of the Rzilient platform that is highly valued by our customers is the ability to anticipate hardware and software failures and problems, often long before they appear on the workstation!
A good way to avoid stress (and lost time) for your team!
Conclusion: automate to better rule!
Automating the tasks associated with managing outsourcing is associated with the 6 key benefits we've run through in this article...and Rzilient's platform meets those perfectly 🙂
Give your business a boost by reducing costs and improving productivity, among the many benefits of automation!
