Depreciation in Collective IQ ITAM: A New Level of Intelligence in Asset Management

Managing IT assets goes far beyond knowing how many devices a company owns. It's about understanding the real value of each asset over time, identifying the right moment for renewal, and, most importantly, turning data into strategic decisions. With that in mind, Almaden has just launched the new Depreciation feature in the Lifecycle module of Collective IQ ITAM- an evolution that takes asset management to the next level by integrating financial control, governance, and operational efficiency in a single platform.

The International Team Powering Almaden's Cutting-Edge Digital Experience (DEX) Solutions

In today’s dynamic and challenging technology landscape, having a robust Digital Experience (DEX) solution is essential. However, it’s the expertise behind it that truly makes the difference. At Almaden, our greatest strength lies not only in the code of our software, but in the world-class intellectual capital that guides our vision and operations.

How a HaaS Provider Increased Profits and Efficiency with Collective IQ

Imagine managing a fleet of over 90,000 devices spread across hundreds of clients. Now, add the responsibility of ensuring that every laptop, desktop, or server is always updated, secure, and performing optimally. This is the daily reality for one of the argest Hardware as a Service (HaaS) providers in Brazil, serving over 500 corporate clients with a lean but highly specialized team.

How DEX and ITAM Transform IT from Reactive to Proactive

Monday: the CEO complains their laptop is slow. Tuesday: the billing software stops working. Thursday: the sales team misses a crucial meeting because Microsoft Teams crashes. This cycle of “fighting fires” is, for many IT departments, the “norm.” It’s a reactive state, where the team’s value is measured by the speed of its response to problems, not by its ability to prevent them. According to Leandro Silva, CEO of Almaden, there is a better path.

ITAM and DEX: The New Era of IT Asset Management Is Shaping the Future of Business

IT asset management is no longer just about keeping inventory. In today's world, where digital is the new workplace, ITAM (IT Asset Management) has become a strategic pillar for companies seeking efficiency, security, and compliance.

Measuring Clicks Is Not Measuring Productivity: The Misconception Behind "Screen Time" Metrics

In recent years, some organizations have adopted metrics such as inactivity time and the number of clicks to assess productivity. But does this truly reflect how productive an employee is — or merely how closely they are being monitored? At first glance, it might seem like a reasonable approach: if someone goes a long time without clicking, perhaps they’re not working.

Major Retailer Accelerates Windows 11 Migration with Collective IQ

Migrating to a new operating system can be compared to renovating a house: you may be able to postpone it for a while, but eventually, you’ll have to face the project — and the relief only comes once it’s complete. While a home renovation can be planned with some flexibility, a Windows 11 migration has a fixed deadline and carries high risks. Every detail matters: compatible hardware, available disk space, drivers, and critical software that all need to align.

From Firefighting to Proactive Resolution: How Almaden's Collective IQ Is Revolutionizing the Service Desk

Picture this: It’s Monday morning, the Service Desk ticket queue is piling up, and Level 1 analysts are already in full “firefighter mode.” Every ticket feels like a blaze: users locked out, critical apps running slow, unexplained system failures. The problem? They’re trying to put out flames without seeing where the fire started. Without real visibility into the environment, troubleshooting is based on trial and error.

DEX: How We Measure the Results of IT Actions

Every IT initiative has a clear purpose: to boost productivity, reduce failures, accelerate processes, or simply make things work better for people. Yet, many companies still make the mistake of implementing changes and improvements without measuring the real impact they have on employees' daily lives. That's the difference between acting in the dark and acting intelligently. Without clear metrics, IT may be investing time and money in solutions that, in practice, bring little benefit - or even harm performance. This is exactly where DEX (Digital Employee Experience) comes in.

AlmaAnalysis: The Enhanced CIQ DEX feature that transforms digital employee experience analysis

In today’s landscape of digital transformation, companies are increasingly dependent on technologies that improve productivity and enhance the employee experience. However, measuring the real impact that each device, system, and configuration has on daily operations remains a significant challenge for many IT teams.
