AbsoluteTrack Helps Surrey Schools with Compliance

"At Surrey School District, we use AbsoluteTrack to verify software license compliance on each machine, perform lifecycle management and execute our annual ‘true up’, which is essentially an inventory count of CPU levels, base bar and licensing," says Dan Turner, Director of Information Technology at Surrey School District. "With over 100 schools in the District, the true up was an annual headache for my team of 55 in IT services."

"AbsoluteTrack has been a great investment for our School District and saves us money in many ways: it helps keep us on onside with software compliance regulations, thus preventing us from having to pay fines, and it has enabled us to automate processes that were labor-intensive and inefficient. I would strongly recommend AbsoluteTrack to any School District."

Improve Life Cycle Management with Secure Asset Tracking

Centrally manage your entire computer population, including remote and mobile assets. Computrace, the technology driving AbsoluteTrack, provides you with detailed reports for every computer with an Internet connection. AbsoluteTrack helps you reduce the total cost of ownership from cradle to grave for your organization’s PC assets.

Prevent Loss Due to "PC Drift"

With typical asset tracking systems, an average of 10-15% of computers, including remote and mobile machines, "drift" from view – into other departments, contractors’ offices, or unauthorized locations. With AbsoluteTrack, every computer with an Internet connection communicates regularly to report system information, location, and user identity. This allows you to locate up to 100% of your computers 24/7, and stop drift in its tracks.

The Ideal Solution for Managing Remote and Mobile Assets

By adding visibility to the 40% of computers that go unseen by traditional asset management systems, AbsoluteTrack can take your asset management measures one step further. With a small, stealthy and tamper-resistant client application that reports detailed information using minimal bandwidth, AbsoluteTrack is ideal for remote and mobile computers. Traditional asset management systems can lose track of assets like laptops when they drift to unknown locations or are not connected to the LAN. With AbsoluteTrack, the laptop reports changes in asset information on a daily basis – regardless of its location.
