The IT Manager™
was designed to help effectively and efficiently manage
change and growth in IT Manager resources and other
vital information on a daily basis allowing information
to be added, modified, or viewed with minimal effort.
A resource can be a piece of hardware, a staff member,
a location, or a vendor. The tool was intended to
track information relevant to everyday operations
of IT departments in a way that nothing else ever
has before. There is the ability to enter hardware
and relevant component, application, and backup information,
staff information with respective skills, responsibilities,
and schedules, vendor and location information, and
a comprehensive method for defining tasks and assigning
responsibilities for those tasks. Acquisition information
is automatically created for hardware, components,
and applications allowing further definition of these
pieces like when acquired, cost, warranty, maintenance
and vendor information. In addition, every piece of
information that is added, changed, or deleted is
written to a history log that displays the type of
event, who performed it, when it happened, and before
and after pictures of the data.
All of these functions have
been designed around an easy to navigate user interface.
