PeopleSoft IT Asset Management monitors constantly changing IT assets in the field to ensure that financially significant changes to those assets are actually on the books. Hardware inventory is a simple metric: the count of all IT hardware, by subtype, that appears in the third-party inventory database and asset repository. It also provides a summary count of IT hardware (that is in physical use) that appears in one database but not the other.
PeopleSoft ITAM provides hardware inventory metrics that you can access through the IT Portal. Users can see a summary-level report on their dashboard, and then can drill down to detail information by accessing the Hardware Inventory Detail page. You can view a detailed list of the assets, or click a serial ID (where the asset exists in the repository) to get a printable view of a single asset.
