| In
today's business environment IT (Information Technology), not only forms an integrated
part of our business activities but also a forms large part of a company's asset base and
overhead costs. It is also true that SME's (Small / Medium Enterprises), don't always
ensure that this asset, which forms a critical part of their business, is adequately
audited, monitored and adequately insured.
Changes in the IT industry
occur on a daily basis, computers and peripheral devices that may have been "state of
the art" 12 month's ago may have been discontinued or replaced with newer and more
advanced models.
Most owners of computers and
systems do not know what their IT asset is worth. In many cases the insurance coverage on
these systems are totally inadequate and the replacement of stolen machines and equipment
easily disputed by insurance companies.
To ensure that your IT
investment is adequately insured, an audit should be done at least once a year but
preferably every 6 months due to the fast pace of technology development. This will
ensure;
that your system information
is up to date and relevant to the changes you have made during the ownership of the
equipment,
that owners are able to
adequately manage internal theft,
manage planned upgrades and
network expansion,
save money by not upgrading
equipment that have reached end-of life cycle,
keep their insurance polices
up to date.
