Asset Management Suite includes pre-built workflow
templates that automate common tasks and business
processes. Workflow efficiently collects information from
the requestor, processes all required approvals and
provides follow up notifications when tasks are not
completed in a pre-determined amount of time. Here are
some examples of new workflows:
•
Hardware and software request process

steps for procuring equipment or software with links into
financial systems, inventory, and company approvals.

owners to acknowledge possession of their resources.
•
Lease termination

retiring assets and taking the specified steps to ensure
the proper disposal and transfer of ownership or data to
the new asset.
