Reduction in Lost Devices
Districts that implement IT asset management programs, including barcode scanning, asset tracking, and accountability workflows, report a 20-30% reduction in lost or misplaced devices (Securely K–12 Device Management Survey, 2023).
Actual outcomes may vary by district, depending on level of implementation and internal practices.
Decrease in Maintenance Costs
Districts using IT asset management practices to support parts tracking and preventative maintenance report up to a 30% reduction in maintenance costs (IBM ITAM ROI Study, 2023).
These efficiencies are typically driven by reduced emergency repairs, fewer duplicate part purchases, and improved inventory oversight.
Faster Incident Resolution
Districts leveraging IT asset management systems with integrated device context and help desk capabilities have reported resolving support tickets 20–40% faster (MetricNet Help Desk Benchmarking Study, 2024).
CoSN’s 2024 survey found that IT teams still spend up to 10 hours weekly on manual tracking—highlighting the opportunity for process improvement through asset management tools.
Technician Travel Time
Mobile access to asset data, ticket details, and inventory can help reduce technician travel time by enabling more on-site resolution and fewer trips back to centralized offices or depots.
With real-time visibility from anywhere, IT teams can respond faster, streamline service, and minimize downtime.
