The process of acquiring new assets will always require resources. At this stage it is important to consider how much capital and employee resource will be used in the investment.
When making acquisitions, it is also important to take the environmental impact into account and develop a plan for the disposal of the asset when they are no longer required. An efficient operating model demands a standardized method of acquisition.
When using the 3 Step IT management model, you can ensure that purchases are made efficiently and sensibly, taking the principles of sustainable development into account.
Leasing
Lease finance is fundamental to the 3 Step IT asset management service. We buy the equipment which the customer has chosen from the supplier and then lease it to the client over an agreed term. Often we take a view of the value of the asset at the end of the lease term which is reflected in the lease repayments resulting in an extremely competitive method of acquiring assets.
Leasing has developed a reputation as being complex and difficult to understand. Our service is based on making leasing simple and easy to understand by establishing processes and the use of our asset register to manage the leases.
Our asset register means that customer have access to all their lease data and are able to manage the lease and the asset throughout their life.
Processing asset data
The collection and organisation of information related to assets are basic requirements for a good and efficient asset management. The collection of information and its entry into databases are arduous and occasionally difficult tasks.
3 Step IT provides its customers with a separate asset register, where technical, financial and other information (e.g. user and location data) related to the equipment is stored and processed. 3 Step IT collects, organises and enters equipment-related information in the asset register on your behalf, freeing you from difficult and time-consuming routines.
What assets can be covered by the service?
In addition to assets customer lease via 3 Step IT, they can also include owned equipment in the scope of the asset management service. In addition, information about equipment financed via other sources can be added to the asset register. All equipment which is no longer required or in use is returned to 3 Step IT for sale in the secondary market.
