Asset Management Suite includes pre-built workflow
templates that automate common tasks and business
processes. Workflow efficiently collects information from
the requestor, processes all required approvals and
provides follow up notifications when tasks are not
completed in a pre-determined amount of time. Here are
some examples of new workflows:
• Hardware and software request process
Hardware and software request process—automates
steps for procuring equipment or software with links into
financial systems, inventory, and company approvals.
• Ownership verification
Ownership verification—allows IT to request asset
owners to acknowledge possession of their resources.
• Lease termination
Lease termination—provides the steps for appropriately
retiring assets and taking the specified steps to ensure
the proper disposal and transfer of ownership or data to
the new asset.
The Symantec™ Management Platform enables easy
creation of workflows for other common asset management
tasks. Automate tasks associated with other Symantec
products to orchestrate processes across multiple
Symantec solutions.
