Technology Asset Management and Inventory
The Asset Management team manages the tagging, tracking, and reallocation of University technology assets throughout their life cycle. The Asset Management team manages an annual Technology Asset Inventory Verification as a part of Minnesota State requirements and to keep employees and our University safe. Employees should watch for official communications from the team when action is needed and report changes to technology asset records throughout the year.

The Asset Management team provides methods for securely disposing of or reallocating State assets that are electronic storage devices (for example: computers, desktops, laptops, tablets, and external hard drives). Equipment pick-up options are available, submit a ticket for assistance.
Asset Transfers and Technology Moves
The Asset Management team provides a software refresh for all University desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and phones when they are transferred from one employee to another to ensure our inventory is current, the device's software is up to date, and personal information is securely erased. The Asset Management team helps with tagging, disassembling, and reassembling any connecting technology hardware for administrative moves between offices and buildings. Submit a ticket for assistance.
