Companies often face challenges in tracking, maintaining and optimizing their physical IT assets. lack of an efficient tool Hardware Asset Management (HAM) may result in financial losses, unmanaged obsolescence, unnecessary acquisitions and security risks. Without adequate visibility, equipment may be underutilized or remain in stock without justification, while critical sectors suffer from hardware deficiencies.
The implementation of tools HAM is the process of implement, configure and integrate solutions that provide complete control over physical IT assets. This includes tracking, preventive maintenance, lifecycle management, and hardware inventory optimization. With a well-structured HAM solution, your company reduces costs, improves safety and maximizes operational efficiency.
According to Gartner, organizations that adopt a mature HAM solution can reduce operating costs by up to 25%, extending the useful life of assets and optimizing replacements. The Forrester points out that companies that have full visibility of their assets avoid unnecessary spending on redundant purchases and minimize security risks related to outdated devices. Already the ServiceNow highlights that a structured HAM program allows efficient tracking, compliance and data-driven decision making.

Success Story: Company Reduces Waste and Optimizes Hardware Management
A multinational technology company hired 4MATT to optimize its hardware asset management. Our team implemented a HAM solution integrated with ServiceNow, allowing detailed tracking of all devices and greater efficiency in resource allocation. The result? A 20% reduction in costs with unnecessary purchases and a significant increase in the useful life of assets. With structured management, the company eliminated losses and improved the predictability of hardware investments.
HAM (Hardware Asset Management) is the practice of managing the entire lifecycle of physical IT assets, such as notebooks, servers, and printers. It involves everything from acquisition planning to responsible disposal, inventory control, movements, and compliance. With efficient management, it is possible to reduce losses, increase the useful life of equipment, and ensure compliance with internal and external standards.
4MATT structures hardware asset management based on frameworks such as ITIL and ISO 19770, and technologies such as ServiceNow. We work on standardizing processes, defining life cycle policies and automating inventory. Our team ensures complete visibility, control and traceability of physical assets, reducing risks and waste in a scalable and strategic way.
Some of the biggest challenges include lack of asset visibility, inefficient traceability, equipment obsolescence, and flaws in input, movement, and disposal processes. Many environments still rely on manual spreadsheets and decentralized information, which generates hidden costs and governance risks. An efficient HAM depends on integrated processes and reliable data.
Hardware asset management provides full control over inventory, reduces losses, extends the useful life of equipment and enables more strategic acquisition decisions. It also contributes to compliance and sustainability. According to Gartner, companies with good hardware management reduce operational costs related to physical IT assets by up to 25%.
