Software firm Numara pointed out that deploying an asset management platform can allow a company to easily carry out tasks such as installing operating systems, implementing patches, remotely support end-user desktop issues and manage power usage.
In addition, the group claimed the technology can allow firms to increase the productivity of IT and reduce the cost of ownership associated with desktop and server ownership.
David Weiss, president and chief executive of Numara Software, commented: 'Historically, desktop management has been considered an organisation's 'reactive approach' to managing the day-to-day desktop issues; such as patching machines, deploying applications and configuring desktops for a new user.'
However, he claimed that more companies are looking for ways to manage their IT assets in a centralised and cost-effective manner.
Last month, Rob Lovell, chief executive of ThinkGrid, claimed understanding of cloud computing is increasing among firms as they realise it can boost productivity and reduce costs.
