Low Tech Solution to High Tech Problem
Post Sponsor: Frontier Label
A big issue that IT people come across on a regular basis is keeping track of their hardware. We all use a variety of methods do this from database tracking to network monitoring. All of these are great ideas and have their place but there is often one small, low tech piece of the tracking puzzle that people forget: stickers!
It is critical that you have clear, visible labels on all critical equipment. Each sticker must have a unique number on it that is recorded in your database. Each sticker should also have a distinct appearance so that it is easily recognizable from a distance. A great option is to have your corporate logo on the sticker.
Frontier Label has a number of products that would suit these purposes. Since they produce full color labels which can each be individually customized, they are a great way to indicate to would be criminals, “We are keeping track of this item and will know if something happens to it!”
The other nice thing about stickers from Frontier Label is the fact that they do not look ugly. Just because this is your tech equipment does not mean that it can’t look good. Full color labels can easily fit into the decor of your office or home.
