With the flourishing development of IT asset management information construction in enterprises,IT cost too much human resource and time unexpected with encountering the project extension and the increasing investment on system maintenance.IT's unaffordable for the starting and developing medium small enterprises.As the conversion to software service based on Saa S mode from the old traditional customized software service mode,more and more software service providers comes to the new software services mode base on Saa S gradually.Along with the widely development of the internet network technology,more enterprises,especially the medium small enterprises prefer the new software service mode based on Saa S considering the cost and financial factors.Meanwhile,the management of the IT asset in a reasonable,light-weight and flexible manners must be well considered as a problem to solve over the development of the enterprise informationized construction.As to these problems of the IT asset management combined with the actual situation of the IT asset management in practice,the Saa S mode provides the very reasonable solution and powerful support technically which make the enterprises get the lower-cost but higher-usability services of IT asset management with the best suitability in maximum.To the companies with the branches over distributed in various places which need the centralization management of IT asset software and hardware resources around the whole group,especially for the one which is not able to afford the license of traditional IT asset management system,the application of the asset management based on Saa S is the best choice.The paper proposes an on-demand software service mode solution by researching and analysing the corresponding technology of IT asset management system based on Saa S(Software as a service)directed to the real business requirement such as IT Asset purchase,register,receive,borrow,borrow-return,discarding along with the workflows and approval flows.From the chart of business process analyzed by requirement,the author proposed the preliminary design of system.Based on the diagram of system design from the preliminary design document,Saa S IT management system provide the web service by open HTTP protocol which is developed by C# program with the support of Microsoft.Net Framework SDK.The enterprise and businessman can get the service to manage the IT asset by anywhere anytime from the cloud as they login on with the authorized credential.The paper aims to prove the feasibility of this solution for the business of IT asset management in small medium enterprises.The paper discusses in detail of the relevant principles,characteristic and key technology on deployment of Saa S.As the demand of hardware and software to implement from the detail design document considering the requirement of functionality and performance,the team built up the software environment and deployment the program.The end-to-end process of deployment of IT management system based on Saa S will help the enterprise strengthen the awareness of choosing the software based on Saa S over the period of information construction.Meanwhile,it provides the best practice of the design and implementation of IT asset management system based Saa S for the software service suppliers.
