Asset Type

Within the EXM platform, an asset type is the classification of a piece of hardware or software. There are many different types of assets, but typically an asset type could refer to computer servers, software applications, network devices, and so on.

An organization may keep track of its IT assets, communicate, and share resources among many departments and individuals by keeping an inventory of its hardware and software using the CMDB.

The capacity to comprehend how each asset might be used to boost corporate efficiency is more crucial than tracking these assets directly. This would entail knowing which workflows require access to these resources and what kinds of activities each process is capable of performing. It also entails knowing which other systems must be linked to these resources in order for them to function properly.

For instance, a business might operate a database requiring links to various servers to function effectively. Defining these requirements sharpens the identification of necessary asset types, enabling IT leaders to devise a more coherent strategy for tool support, both internally among enterprise teams and externally across different organizations.
