What you can't see, you can't manage
Most businesses have a rough idea of what IT they own. A rough idea is rarely accurate. and the gap between what you think you have and what's actually deployed is where money leaks, compliance gaps appear, and security vulnerabilities hide. Sentire's asset and licence management service gives you a complete, accurate, always-current inventory of every device and software licence in your organisation.
The true cost of poor asset management
Businesses typically overspend on software licences they're not using, miss renewal dates and face service interruptions, run unlicensed software that creates legal and audit risk, and keep hardware in service years past its productive life. A single audit finding or unexpected renewal lapse can cost more than a year of managed asset tracking.
Hardware asset management
Every computer, server, switch, printer, phone, and piece of peripheral equipment is logged in a centralised asset register. including model, serial number, warranty expiry, assigned user, and location. The register is maintained automatically through integration with our endpoint management platform, so it stays current without manual data entry.
When you need to make a purchasing decision, replace hardware, or demonstrate to an auditor what equipment you operate, the answer is ready immediately rather than requiring someone to walk around the office with a spreadsheet.
Software licence management
Software licensing is where compliance risk is highest and where unmanaged spend is most common. We track every software licence in your environment. including subscription services, perpetual licences, and volume agreements. and map them against actual deployments to identify over-licensing and under-licensing.
Microsoft 365 optimisation
Microsoft 365 is typically a business's largest software spend and the most commonly over-licensed product. We audit your M365 subscriptions against actual active users, identify licences assigned to former staff or inactive accounts, and recommend the right plan mix across your organisation. Many businesses reduce their M365 spend by 15–25% after a first audit without losing any functionality.
Renewal management
Licence and contract renewal dates are tracked and flagged well in advance. typically 90 days before expiry. You'll never be caught by a surprise renewal invoice or face a service interruption because an annual subscription lapsed unnoticed.
Part of your IT Strategy
Asset and licence data feeds directly into your IT strategy and roadmap. Knowing exactly what you own, what it costs, when it expires, and when it needs replacing lets you plan IT spending over a two- to three-year horizon. rather than reacting to emergencies. It also gives leadership accurate data for budget decisions, rather than estimates.
Start with a baseline audit
Every new managed IT client starts with a complete asset discovery. hardware, software, licences, and contracts. The baseline audit typically surfaces findings within the first week: unused licences, expired warranties, unlicensed software, and hardware past its productive life. The findings alone often justify the cost of the engagement.
