If a municipality blindly replaces ownership with leasing, there is a risk of solving a financial problem but creating a different problem in respect of oversight.
In a geographically dispersed organisation like a municipality, an asset management solution offers complete oversight of all equipment involved, providing information about upgrade requirements, maintenance routines and users.
The analysis of profitability linked to a procurement uses information from the asset management solution as base data.
With a complete overview of the asset base, savings can be achieved by exchanging equipment instead of making new procurements if many identical units are involved, such as PCs or photocopiers.
