Ensuring asset visibility in a hybrid working world

The global COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and changed how many organizations now operate on a daily basis. Remote or hybrid work patterns are now normal practice for the majority. This is not likely to change in the short-term. According to a UK National Office of Statistics study, conducted in June 2021, 85% of working adults currently homeworking want to use a hybrid approach of both home and office working in future. As part of the #DoMoreWithSnowServices series we explore what Software/IT asset management challenges this shift brings, and how Snow Software can support customers to resolve these.

Anthony Yip, a Senior Technical Consultant from Snow Software, describes the major challenge faced and how our technology intelligence platform has the capability to address this.

The largest challenge organizations now face is maintaining visibility and connectivity of corporate devices. With many devices now operating outside a corporate network, unless a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnel is available, how do organizations keep a track of their assets, users and consumption?

This visibility is crucial for IT security and the optimization of an organization's hardware/software spend. Snow Software’s Technology Intelligence platform has the ability, and functionality, to address this issue. Through careful technical/architectural planning, the solution can be configured to consume data from inside and outside the corporate network. This ensures ongoing accurate and frequent data without placing additional load onto an organisation VPN solution. Snow’s Professional Services can ensure that an accurate and reliable data-feed is maintained by:

1.  Validate best practice is in place for externally-facing technologies. Stay secure and connected.

2.  Verify the health of your Snow platform and validate coverage of inventory/discovery data.

3.  Design/build a secure and scalable Snow platform that aligns to the corporate IT strategy, achieving company objectives, within a hybrid working world.
