When most people think about IT asset management, software typically comes to mind, but what about the mobile devices that house the software? With the global average cost of data breaches reaching over $4 million, having a handle on every area of a potential vulnerability is critical, including mobile devices.
With one out of three businesses being affected by data breaches, it’s no surprise that headlines like the ones below are competing for space in our newsfeeds:

When Nate Poynter, CEO of Evercycle, entered the enterprise mobility management space over 11 years ago, it was on the service provider side. Bringing successful solutions to the market as a service provider, he saw the varying struggles that enterprises faced when trying to manage fragmented providers and navigate hardware services around their company’s devices at scale.
Poynter initially created software to help automate the buyback process, but when he began working with companies that wanted to keep their devices and manage everything in-house, he saw the opportunity to create a product to fill a void in the asset management space. He pivoted his focus from the device recovery and resale side and packaged innovative solutions as an intuitive product, finally putting the customer in control while improving service provider accountability.
“I saw firsthand the struggles that many companies faced when it came to managing their devices. IT asset managers within large organizations had a lot of manual work and had to use different vendors for different things in different regions at different times. I could see they were set up for failure, and I was determined to find a solution. “ – Nate Poynter, CEO
Evercycle handles all the hardware management needs of IT asset managers and bundles self-managed tools within an intuitive Saas platform. The unified dashboard provides configurable workflows that enable users to launch, automate, track, and report hardware services programs as company devices cycle through deployment, repair, replacement, recovery, recycle and recirculation.
The outdated mode of handling mobile device management is with a spreadsheet. With Evercycle, the history of each device is available at a glance within a single dashboard, and every piece of data is available in real time. IT managers are finding this especially useful when managing remote workers and their devices.
Evercycle improves workforce efficiency by ensuring that functioning devices are placed into the hands of those who need them. With the added benefit of device traceability, data privacy support, security and sustainability, you have an innovative software solution that seamlessly bridges the gap between hardware and software asset management.
