Independent analysts like the Gartner Group and PriceWaterhouseCoopers have documented that proper asset management contributes to both financial and qualitative benefits.
In a leasing arrangement where the lessor owns the equipment, but the lessee has right of use, it is essential for the lessor to offer a good asset management system.
Using such a system, the lessee has access to a detailed and necessary overview of all equipment included in the leasing contract. It is then also easier to allocate costs.
If the statutory authorities change the accounting principles, a centralised overview allows the consequences to be analysed.
An asset management system provides an ongoing overview of maintenance, upgrade and replacement needs.
