Background of the Study
IT asset management (ITAM) tools help organizations track, manage, and optimize their IT assets, which include hardware, software, and network infrastructure (Johnson, 2024). By providing insights into asset usage, lifecycle, and maintenance, ITAM tools enable businesses to optimize their operations and reduce unnecessary costs associated with asset procurement, maintenance, and disposal. This case study explores how businesses in Niger State are using IT asset management tools to reduce operational costs and improve asset utilization.
Statement of the Problem
Many businesses in Niger State may not fully leverage the potential of IT asset management tools to reduce operational costs. The inefficient use of IT assets, lack of proper tracking, and failure to optimize asset lifecycle management can result in unnecessary expenditures. This study aims to assess how businesses in Niger State are utilizing IT asset management tools and their impact on reducing operational costs.
Objectives of the Study
- To examine how IT asset management tools are used to track and manage IT assets in businesses in Niger State.
- To evaluate the impact of IT asset management on reducing operational costs, including procurement, maintenance, and disposal costs.
