Product Details

Overview

Symantec Asset Management Suite, historically associated with Altiris, is an IT asset-management platform for discovering, inventorying, tracking, and managing hardware and software throughout its lifecycle. It helps districts maintain ownership, location, contract, license, and cost information for technology resources.

The suite can connect asset records with service and configuration workflows, but ticketing is not its primary identity. It belongs chiefly under Device or IT Asset Management, with Help Desk Ticketing used only as a cross-list when the district has implemented related service-management components.
