Intelligent Asset Management (I AM™)
RFID for IT assets

Whether you are integrating RFID into Maximo, Sunflower, Remedy, or Oracle or require a quickly installed stand-alone system that moves you beyond Excel and Access Databases, ODIN’s I AM™ solution will help you easily track your IT assets with RFID. ODIN built I AM™ to radically improve IT asset tracking efficiency and security based on real world implementations.

Make IT Asset Inventory and Audits Fast and Accurate

With RFID users can inventory entire server racks or offices in a few seconds using passive RFID. Read the IAM FAQs here.This improves accountability and efficiency for annual inventory, property responsibility transfers and SOX compliance. Studies have shown that using RFID speeds inventory processes by 5-10 times.

RFID Reduces Cost

One 2010 study involving a large financial services institution showed that their organization could save nearly $300 per asset by leveraging RFID to automate key receiving, provisioning, and inventory processes. Personnel costs to conduct full IT asset inventories alone can be cut by more than 80% and make them more accurate in the process.

RFID Reduces Compliance and Audit Risk

What does it cost if you lose a hard-drive or laptop with sensitive company or customer data? How will your annual performance review go if you fail an audit? One top investment bank suggested a lost hard drive costs exceeded three million dollars in staff and remediation costs. Others worry about winding up on the front page of the Washington Post or Wall Street Journal because sensitive information went missing. RFID can dramatically increase your security and tracking profile by identifyi ng the location of missing IT assets or the path they followed prior to disappearance. They can even be integrated into security systems to prevent unauthorized movement.

RFID IT Asset Tracking that is Easy

Many end-users were concerned that RFID and RFID applications were too difficult to use. ODIN took on this challenge and produced I AM™ based on the premise that RFID can be both accurate and easy to use. I AM™ is the first asset management system built specifically for RFID, and the complex physics that drives 99.9% read rate. I AM™ gives your assets their own voice, so when they move or you are looking for them they can "speak" to you. Users can add asset data and location information in seconds, change asset locations automatically, and inventory an entire room in less time than it takes to grab a cup of coffee. Training takes only a few minutes, but the benefits can save hundreds of man-hours annually.

RFID IT Asset tracking that is Easy to Integrate

While I AM™ can operate stand-alone as an easy-to-use IT asset management solution, customers using Remedy, Maximo, HP Asset Manager, Sunflower, or Oracle also benefit from easy integration that extends the capabilities of the core systems. Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solutions such as these avoid cumbersome custom coding and inaccurate read rates and become easily adapted to RFID by leveraging I AM™ features and device integration. Users who don’t have EAM benefit from the ability to adopt basic asset management software that can be installed in just a few hours and enables the power of RFID.

RFID that is Accurate

None of the benefits will be realized without RFID read rates. The key to RFID accuracy is physics. ODIN built its RFID IT Asset tracking solution on scientific research such as the RFID IT Asset Tracking Benchmark and real-world customer installations. In addition ODIN's lab has more experience with a broad range of RFID readers than any other firm. Our relationships with the major vendors insures we get the earliest possible opportunity to add and test new devices so that you can have the best possible RFID hardware. We've found in more than 300 deployments one size doesn't fit all. This knowledge base is critical to ensure high accuracy and a solution that delivers benefits from day one.
