- Create, Update and Delete Assets
- Bulk sync of Assets to and from remote systems
- Flexible business processes for different Asset classes

Activate manages the Asset for the entire Asset lifecycle from provisioning the asset, through to asset transfers between cost centres and finally the disposing of the Asset.

This minimises the amount of manual maintenance that is required by IT and means that the asset information is always up to date.
