It is expensive in both time and money to audit existing IT environments. It is even more expensive if the audit does not deliver consistent, accurate data, takes too long or fails to complete. Trying to make use of automated discovery technology without a verification audit gives a partial set of data due to the inconsistencies of equipment and configuration practices. You cannot find equipment that is switched off or configured incorrectly!

The Square Mile team has extensive experience of undertaking inventory capture exercises that may involve the following areas;

•  Detailed definition of requirements

•  Manual verification of labelling, connectivity, configuration and location

•  Deployment of multiple teams working in parallel

•  Multi-technology audits such as cabling, voice, data, video, software etc.

•  Data reconciliation between automated and manual systems

•  Upload into service desks, databases and documentation systems

•  Process optimisation for subsequent verification exercises

•  Ongoing responsibility for maintenance of audit data

Our services are tailored to those who have tried to conduct major audits, only to find that it is more difficult than expected. The number of unknowns, coupled with different viewpoints and inexperience all contribute to a nightmare for any project manager.

Use our help to ensure risks are minimised, projects are well structured and audit data is accurate. There should be no need for another audit....

As all inventory capture exercises are bespoke in nature, contact us at Square Mile to discuss your needs.
