Evercycle SaaS Platform Alleviates IT Asset Management Pain Points through Automation

Every day, IT asset managers handle the distribution, repair, replacement, and recovery of devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets for company employees. Managing IT hardware lifecycle services with limited tools, data, and inconsistent vendor support diverts the needed attention away from more pressing tasks, potentially hindering workplace productivity.

The  2021 IT Asset Management (ITAM) Global Survey points out that, 

There is little doubt that the rapidly evolving technology landscape amid shifting paradigms in the macroeconomic and business environment is swiftly making the more traditional approaches to SAM as well as ITAM out of date. The recent COVID-19 pandemic, which has accelerated the evolution of the technology-enabled digital enterprise, has also played a key role in challenging ITAM mechanisms, even in the more established organizations.

With so many moving parts, finding ways to handle the unpredictability of asset management can be challenging. According to US News, IT managers rank in the top 25 of the most stressful jobs. 

Nate Poynter, founder and CEO of Evercycle, created the IT asset management platform out of an obsession to support IT Asset Managers. After 11 years of collaborating closely with enterprise customers, service providers, IT distributors/partners, and manufacturing, he gained a high-level perspective of the holes in the industry and felt he could offer a solution. 

“I saw the many very problematic and underserved areas of
IT hardware management, became very empathetic towards enterprise IT Asset managers, and became obsessed with enabling enterprises to effectively manage this area of their operation.” – Nate Poynter, CEO
