Maximizing IT Asset Value: How SymplicITy Transforms IT Asset Management

In today's fast-paced business environment, managing IT assets effectively isn't just about tracking inventory—it's about transforming what was once a cost center into a strategic advantage. With technology refresh cycles accelerating and remote work becoming standard, organizations face mounting challenges in deployment, recovery, and remarketing of IT assets. 

The Hidden Costs of Traditional IT Asset Management 

Many organizations struggle with unpredictable costs and inefficient processes that drain resources. The traditional approach to IT asset management is plagued by several challenges: 

• Multiple disconnected systems requiring separate licenses, training, and maintenance 

• Fluctuating monthly expenses making budgeting difficult 

• Low-value work such as boxing/unboxing and tracking equipment 

• Complicated repair processes across multiple OEMs with different warranty requirements 

• Lack of transparency in the remarketing and recycling of retired assets 

These inefficiencies don't just cost money—they also prevent IT teams from focusing on strategic initiatives that drive business value. 

The SymplicITy Difference: Predictable, Simple, Complete 

Synetic's SymplicITy approach reimagines IT asset management through a comprehensive lifecycle model built on 25+ years of industry experience. The solution addresses every phase of the IT asset lifecycle with four key pillars: Track, Deploy, Recover, and Remarket. 

1. Simplified Asset Tracking with 24/7 Portal Access

The cornerstone of effective asset management is visibility. SymplicITy provides: 

• A user-friendly portal accessible 24/7 

• Comprehensive device details, including make, model, specifications, and status 

• Custom reporting capabilities for sustainability metrics and financial returns 

• Easy-to-navigate interface that reduces administrative burden 

Having this information at your fingertips means you're always audit-ready and can make data-driven decisions about your technology investments. 

2. Streamlined Deployment Process

Getting devices to employees quickly and efficiently is critical, especially with distributed workforces. SymplicITy offers: 

• One-click deployment requests through an intuitive interface 

• Custom fields based on request type 

• Integration with existing systems to streamline form completion 

• Options for both on-site and remote employee deployments (in higher service tiers) 

This streamlined approach drastically reduces the administrative overhead associated with new hires and refreshes. 

3. Effortless Recovery Solution

One of the most challenging aspects of IT asset management is retrieving equipment from departing employees. SymplicITy simplifies this with: 

• Automated return shipping label generation 

• Remote employee asset reclamation 

• Easy tracking of returned devices 

• Scheduled recovery pickups 

These features ensure that valuable assets don't disappear when employees leave. 

4. Value Recovery Through Remarketing

Perhaps the most transformative aspect of SymplicITy is turning end-of-life assets into revenue streams. The service includes: 

• Transparent remarketing of suitable devices 

• Revenue sharing models ranging from 50% to 70%, depending on the service tier 

• Detailed reporting on recovered value 

• Certificates of destruction for data security compliance 

The Financial Impact: From Cost Center to Revenue Generator 

What makes SymplicITy truly revolutionary is its financial model. Rather than treating IT asset management as a pure expense, it creates opportunities for cost reduction and even revenue generation: 

• Flat monthly fee structure simplifies budgeting and financial planning 

• Revenue sharing from remarketed assets offsets service costs 

• Reduced internal labor costs by redirecting valuable IT talent to strategic initiatives 

• Lower repair costs through OEM-certified processes and warranty management 

For a company with 4,000 employees, the model shows remarkable efficiency, potentially creating an implied net cost saving ranging from $49,900 to $93,582 annually, depending on the service tier, when accounting for FTE labor savings. 

Measuring Success Beyond Financial Returns 

While cost savings are significant, SymplicITy also provides environmental impact metrics that help organizations meet sustainability goals: 

• Energy savings in kilowatt hours 

• Greenhouse gas emission reduction 

• Waste reduction metrics 

• Water conservation data 

These metrics help organizations demonstrate corporate social responsibility and comply with increasingly stringent environmental reporting requirements. 

Conclusion: Transforming IT Asset Management from Burden to Benefit 

In a world where technology is constantly evolving, the old model of managing IT assets is no longer sustainable. SymplicITy transforms what was once a necessary expense into a strategic advantage—providing better visibility, reducing administrative burden, and even generating revenue.
