2020 has been without a doubt a historic year for all the wrong reasons. The impact on the global economy has been disastrous.
We have been lucky and blessed at a19 Consulting with a record year and fantastic new Ivanti ITSM clients and Ivanti Business Partnerships.
So much so that we have donated 10% of all our pre-tax revenue to causes around the world. But we’re not stopping there.
We’re making our a19 Asset Scanner Mobile Apps for Android and Apple iOS Devices available for FREE for 2021.
Scanning Assets with Ivanti Service Manager and Ivanti Asset Manager just got easier! No expensive clunky hardware required! All you need is an Android Device, iPhone, or iPad. An Ivanti ITSM first!

IAM Asset Scanner Role Functionality
The Out-of-the-box (OOTB) functionality allows for scanning bar codes and looking up Asset Tags, creating and adding assets, with Asset Type, Sub Type, Asset Name, Serial Number, Location, Assigned Model, and Manufacturer. The “Scan Log” is then attached to the new/updated Configuration Item (CI, now Asset)

a19 Consulting has taken the asset scanner to the next level customized the Asset Scanner UI with an asset scanning wizard that after scanning an asset tag walks you through creating a new asset orupdating an asset, plus the ability to scan packing slips for procurement, with pictures of the packing slips, and 1 or more Assets (CI’s) attached to the packing slips, which roll up into the Purchase Order and Invoices for reconciliation.
