Asset Management: SeeControl Announces On Demand Data Center Asset Management To Optimize Fast Growing Operations

SeeControl, a provider of On Demand asset tracking and management, recently announced the release of a solution for data center operations. SeeControl On Demand is a revolutionary web-based system that centralizes information about asset activity in real-time. It connects to other SeeControl software, including mobile computers and RFID devices, to streamline clients' asset-intensive processes.

According to industry analysts, data center IT equipment and infrastructure items are growing at 15% or more per year, with many Internet-driven companies doubling their investments. In addition to increased purchases and warranties to manage, this growth creates very high power, space and cooling costs.

"SeeControl constantly communicates with our clients to identify and fulfill their emerging needs. Through this ongoing dialogue with our customers in IT operations, we realized that traditional tools to view and control data center assets are challenged," said Al Cohen, CEO at SeeControl. "Rapid growth combined with the increased presence of third party services is making it difficult for data center operations and IT managers to understand asset location, condition and related work-in-progress. This feeds a cycle of duplicate purchases, missed warranty opportunities and lowered productivity. SeeControl's web-based tools are available online anywhere, anytime to foster collaboration, increase efficiency and reduce unnecessary expenditures."

SeeControl's solution for data centers is designed to physically manage assets across the spectrum of data center operations. This includes receiving, staging, asset tracking, warranty management, spares monitoring, repair vendor tracking, returns management, disposition and facility relocation. SeeControl's configuration tools allows IT service providers and data center managers to use all or some of these features while building work and reporting models that meet their unique needs. The solution communicates readily with existing accounting, capacity planning and service management software to help clients fully optimize their operations.

SeeControl's data center solution is available now. It has been in beta use with an IT provider delivering revenue-generating managed services to many well known data centers. The company has established a partner program for other IT service providers to use a private-labeled version of SeeControl for their clients.
