What is Asset Management?

Asset management involves managing the entire lifecycle of assets, from acquisition, use, and maintenance to decommissioning and disposal. The goal is to optimize the performance and cost-effectiveness of assets throughout their lifecycle.

In the dynamic landscape of current times, effective asset management has emerged as a cornerstone of operational excellence for both public and private enterprises. Efficient asset management not only ensures optimal utilization and increases the lifespan of assets but also significantly reduces maintenance costs, which ultimately reflects in the form of an overall healthy bottom line.
