Systems for tracking and managing IT assets can save time and dollars.
The average school district loses more than $80,000 per year because of lost or damaged IT assets, according to a QED survey cosponsored by Follett Software Company. And many districtsâ��”59 percent—still use manual systems to track assets. Enter asset management systems.
