Asset (CAT-MIP-000000051)

Accepted • 2025-09-19 • by nicole

Definition

An Asset refers to any physical or logical entity managed by portfolio products. This includes, but is not limited to, endpoints (e.g., laptops, desktops, servers), edge systems, mobile devices, cloud resources, Entra (Azure AD) identities, and Microsoft 365 services. Assets represent the lowest-level managed object within a hierarchy. Use the canonical term Asset instead of 'Device,' which is a limited synonym. Assets can exist in various environments--on-prem, cloud, hybrid--and across tenants, sites, and service organizations.
