30-Day Current State Assessment (CSA)

Gain Complete Visibility into Your IT Environment in 30 Days

The TekWurx 30-Day Current State Assessment (CSA) provides organisations with a structured and accelerated approach to understanding their IT asset landscape. By consolidating asset data from across your environment, TekWurx enables organisations to identify unknown assets, visibility gaps, and data quality issues while building a trusted asset baseline.

Using the TekWurx uControl platform, we aggregate and process asset data from multiple sources to create a Gold Dataset — a reconciled and trusted inventory of your IT assets.

Within 30 days, organisations gain actionable insights into their infrastructure, security posture, and asset management maturity.

Why a Current State Assessment Matters

Most organisations hold asset data across multiple tools and systems, including spreadsheets, discovery platforms, security tools, and CMDBs. These sources often contain duplicate, inconsistent, or incomplete data, making it difficult to maintain an accurate inventory of IT assets.

A Current State Assessment enables organisations to:

Establish a trusted baseline of IT assets

Identify visibility gaps across the environment

coverage

Measure coverage across discovery and management tools

security and compliance

Improve data quality and governance

Support security, compliance, and operational initiatives

Scope to Insights in 30 Days

The Current State Assessment follows a structured five-phase approach designed to move organisations from asset discovery to actionable insight in a single month.

Project Kickoff & Discovery

Days 1–5

The engagement begins with project initiation and discovery activities to define scope, identify data sources, and prepare for data collection.

Activities

  • Define assessment scope and objectives
  • Identify asset data sources across the organisation
  • Conduct stakeholder meetings
  • Provision secure access to required systems
  • Prepare data collection plan

Outcome

A clear engagement scope and access to the systems required to begin data collection.

Data Collection & Ingestion

Days 6–12

During this phase, asset data is collected from available sources and ingested into the TekWurx uControl platform.

Data Sources May Include

  • Spreadsheets
  • CMDB systems
  • Cloud platforms
  • Discovery tools
  • Security platforms
  • Patch management systems
  • Endpoint management tools

Activities

  • Import asset data into uControl
  • Integrate with CMDB platforms
  • Connect cloud and discovery sources
  • Consolidate initial asset datasets

Outcome

A centralized asset data repository containing information from all available sources.

Data Processing & Normalization

Days 13–20

Once data is ingested, TekWurx performs advanced data processing to standardize and align asset records.

Activities

  • Data normalization
  • Asset record reconciliation
  • Cross-source correlation
  • Data enrichment and standardization

Outcome

A cleansed and structured asset dataset prepared for final reconciliation and analysis.

Gold Dataset Creation

Days 21–25

In this phase, the consolidated dataset is validated and transformed into the Gold Dataset, representing the most accurate representation of the organisation’s IT assets.

Activities

  • Final asset reconciliation
  • Data quality validation
  • Coverage analysis across tools
  • Dataset verification

Outcome

The Gold Dataset — a trusted baseline of all known IT assets across the organisation.

Insights & Assessment Report

Days 26–30

The final phase delivers analysis and actionable recommendations based on the Gold Dataset.

Activities

  • Risk and gap analysis
  • Identification of unknown assets
  • Asset coverage reporting
  • Optimization and improvement roadmap
  • Executive summary and findings report

Outcome

A comprehensive assessment report with actionable insights and strategic recommendations.

Powered by TekWurx uControl

The TekWurx uControl platform enables organisations to unify asset data from across the IT environment, providing the intelligence required to understand and manage complex technology estates.

By combining data ingestion, normalisation, reconciliation, and analytics, uControl transforms fragmented asset information into actionable intelligence.

Deliverables

The Current State Assessment provides organisations with a set of structured deliverables designed to create clarity, improve visibility, and support future IT governance initiatives.

Trusted Asset Inventory Baseline

A consolidated view of all discovered IT assets across the organisation. This baseline provides the most accurate representation of the current IT environment, combining information from all available data sources.

Gold Dataset

The Gold Dataset represents the reconciled and normalised master dataset of IT assets created through the assessment. It serves as the trusted reference point for asset data across the organisation and forms the foundation for ongoing asset management, reporting, and governance.

Asset Coverage Analysis

A detailed analysis showing which data sources and tools provide visibility into the organisation’s IT assets. This helps organisations understand how effectively their current tools are identifying and managing assets across the environment.

Data Quality Metrics

A measurement of the completeness, consistency, and accuracy of asset data across all data sources. This includes identifying duplicate records, incomplete asset attributes, and inconsistencies between systems.

Visibility Gap Analysis

Identification of areas where assets are not currently visible within existing tools or systems. These gaps can represent unmanaged devices, shadow IT, or areas where discovery capabilities may need improvement.

Unknown Asset Identification

Highlighting assets that exist within the environment but are not fully accounted for or managed within core systems such as CMDBs, discovery tools, or security platforms.

Tool Coverage Reporting

An assessment of how different tools contribute to asset visibility. This analysis shows which platforms provide overlapping coverage and where additional tooling or integration may improve asset discovery.

Strategic Improvement Recommendations

A set of practical recommendations based on the findings of the assessment. These recommendations help organisations improve asset visibility, strengthen data governance, and build a roadmap for more effective IT asset management.
