Who Is Responsible for the Devices?

For larger organizations, tracking-device responsibility is the next step in a network audit. Typically, this type of tracking involves matching a device name or device type with a particular person or group. Some companies take this to the next step by linking the person or group with an HR database, and thus being able to associate a device with the location, phone, and beeper of responsible parties.

Tracking device responsibility becomes important when determining what types of performance reporting to produce and who should have access to the reporting.
