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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
With decades of experience serving enterprise clients like GM Financial, Tyson, T-Mobile, and many others, Synetic offers a proven approach that delivers both financial and environmental benefits.
If your organization is struggling with the hidden costs and inefficiencies of traditional IT asset management, it may be time to explore how SymplicITy can transform your approach to technology lifecycle management, turning a necessary expense into a strategic advantage.
