Lifecycle management built in

Track assets from procurement through retirement, including warranties, depreciation, stockrooms, contracts, and software licensing in one system.

Flexible deployment

Choose cloud, on-premises, private cloud, or hybrid deployment. Organizations retain control over how and where the platform operates.
