IT asset management: when a CSR tool complements your ITAM

Two tools, two distinct functions

Most companies manage their IT fleet with an ITAM (IT Asset Management) tool: equipment inventory, licence tracking, support tickets, technical lifecycle. It is essential, but it does not answer a question that management and clients ask more and more often: what is the real environmental impact of this fleet?

What a traditional ITAM tool does

• Inventory of equipment and its assignment
• Tracking of software licences and contracts
• Management of support tickets and incidents
• History of the technical lifecycle (purchase date, warranty, planned replacement)

This information is operational, but rarely looked at from an environmental angle: an ITAM tells you what equipment you have, not how much CO2 it represents.

What a traditional ITAM does not document

Without carbon data per device, it is impossible to answer precisely questions that are nonetheless increasingly common: what is the footprint of my current fleet? What would be gained by switching to refurbished equipment for a given device category? How can these figures be documented for an EcoVadis assessment or CSRD reporting?

Colibris, the impact layer that complements your asset management

Colibris, our CSR management tool, does not replace your ITAM: it complements it. Built directly into the billing flow of your Leasetic contract, it documents the carbon footprint device by device and per employee, with no manual data entry, and simulates the impact of switching to refurbished equipment for each equipment category.
