Avotus ICM® Inventory is an integrated inventory management module that captures and manages corporate network assets. You can define network services and elements based on what is relevant to your business unit for tracking and management, and more.
The Inventory module enables you to:
»

»
Determine the attributes of network assets and
»
Improve auditing capabilities
The Inventory module contains information for all of the network services and inventory items in your organization, which are contained in the Expense Management databases. The structure of the Inventory module reflects the technical relationships between these telecommunications services. Each unique service type captures the technical information that is applicable to it. Additionally, the interdependency between services can be clearly established. Inventory is related to the providers who deliver that service within an account structure that mirrors those established at the provider level. A major benefit of Inventory is the accessibility that it provides to service data. Expense Management automatically indexes the data in the system allowing you to locate and identify a specific item (or items) based on whatever search and selection criteria you choose. By default, inventory is indexed by location, provider, account, and service type.
An accessible and accurate inventory system is critical to effective network management. The structured and accessible inventory of Expense Management allows you to efficiently manage these services. You can quickly identify services that are affected by changes in your organization, such as new services, moves, changes or service disconnects. The ability to identify services provided under a given account or by a specific provider will also assist you in contract renegotiations or disaster recovery planning.
