IT asset management
Your systems are the bedrock of your operations, so it’s critical to keep them running smoothly. IT asset management (ITAM) is the process of implementing, maintaining, monitoring, and tracking your information technology assets to optimize performance and maximize the value of investments while maintaining compliance. PDQ Inventory and PDQ Deploy act as asset management software, simplifying inventorying, updating, and tracking hardware and software.
Advanced software asset management
The average business uses 110 SaaS applications, and that number is steadily increasing. Juggling licenses, installations, and updates requires an effective solution. Deploy and Inventory streamline processes to make software asset management quick and easy.

DEAN MOORE
I used PDQ just last week to update 180 systems, and I did the entire creative cloud suite in three hours time. This would normally take me an entire week. Now that I have been doing this for several years, I think this has probably saved me years on my life.

PDQ makes setting up a computer from scratch so simple. We have a custom package to install and it will take. I installed office, chrome, firefox, and an antivirus on an old computer all in 2 minutes. That alone saves you an hour and a half…
