Hardware Asset Management - Sassafras Onboard Request
Onboarding will require Administrator representatives from your organization to complete preparatory work including setting up Active Directory groups to provide login access, completing tutorials and attending a community onboarding session offered starting in late July 2026.
Overview
Hardware Asset Management for Cornell Ithaca supports asset lifecycle management by streamlining procurement, deployment, maintenance, and decommissioning workflows and acting as a single source of data for institutional devices to inform decision-making, investments, and security.
Centralized processes capture information about devices when they are purchased. The system provides easy, fast, consistent data access, dashboards, and management to support better decisions and operational efficiency.
Hardware Asset Management changes are part of the Endpoint Asset Management Project. Tools being used seed Cornell's Hardware Asset and Lifecycle Management data of record. They include inventory information about Cornell University Ithaca's device fleet, both managed and not managed. Devices will be captured at the time of purchase with Dell, Apple, and CDW-G purchase integrations.
CIT is reaching out to IT Service Group Directors and Desktop Services Managers, who are being actively engaged to form a priority list. The documentation library is being built now and will be available soon for IT Service Groups.
Privacy
Hardware Asset Management is governed by Cornell policy as outlined in the University Privacy Statement.
