Asset Management
Asset management is based on the idea that it is important to identify, track, classify, and assign ownership for the most important assets to ensure they are adequately protected. Tracking inventory of some kind is the simplest example of asset management. Knowing what you have, where it lives, how important it is, and who's responsible for it are all important pieces of the puzzle.
Through the use of surveys, interviews, and other means, ITSS is in the process of developing and maintaining an inventory
of information assets for campus systems. This inventory will include the following:
- Asset inventory ( what assets we have & where they are)
- Asset responsibility/ownership (who is responsible for each asset)
- Asset importance (how important each asset is in relation to other assets)
- Asset protection (is each asset adequately protected according to how
important it is)
