WHAT MAELKO DOES
Visibility and control, from end to end.
IT Asset Management and endpoint governance are the core focus. Procurement, device disposition, and audit support help close the lifecycle gaps around them. Work is scoped as a practical project or ongoing advisory support.

Built on practical IT operations
Advice grounded in running IT day to day.
MAELKO was founded by an IT operator with hands-on experience across IT asset management, endpoint management, procurement, supplier coordination, user lifecycle processes, security controls, and audit evidence in global IT environments.
That perspective shapes the work: understand how people and systems operate today, make ownership clear, and leave behind processes the internal team can maintain.
Field notes · Practical IT insights
Problems IT teams recognize. Practical ways forward.
Short notes on asset visibility, endpoint governance, offboarding, and audit work. Each starts with a familiar challenge and a useful first check.
IT ASSET MANAGEMENT
Why do IT and Finance have different laptop counts?
Purchase records, management platforms, and the asset register often describe different stages of a device's lifecycle. Adding another spreadsheet rarely resolves which record is correct.
First check
Compare serial numbers across procurement, endpoint management, and the asset
register. Classify duplicates, unassigned devices, returns, and purchases not
yet deployed. Define which system owns each data field.
AUDIT READINESS
An auditor asks who owns each device. Can IT answer?
An inventory is more useful when ownership is assigned, updated during lifecycle changes, and supported by records the team can retrieve without a manual hunt.
First check
Sample a small set of devices and reconcile the recorded owner against identity,
endpoint, and service-management records. Flag stale assignments and decide who
must update ownership when a person joins, moves, or leaves.
JOINER · MOVER · LEAVER
The laptop came back. Is offboarding actually complete?
Returning hardware is only one part of a leaver process. Identity, SaaS access, endpoint management, and asset ownership can each have a different handoff.
First check
Map each offboarding step across identity, SaaS, endpoint controls, and physical
return. Name the owner, completion signal, and evidence for each step, then test
the workflow against a recent leaver.

HOW MAELKO WORKS
Know what the work produces
The scope is agreed before work starts. Each stage ends with usable findings, decisions, or handover materials.
01
Assess
Map the current state: assets, gaps, risks, ownership, process friction, and missing evidence.
Typical outputs
1–2 weeks · Discovery, environment review, gap analysis
- Asset data reconciliation and gap register
- Ownership and process findings
- Audit evidence gap summary
02
Design
Define the target model: process, tooling, policy, reporting, ownership, and handover plan.
Typical outputs
2–4 weeks · Process design, tooling selection, policy drafting
- Target ownership and lifecycle model
- Prioritized remediation roadmap
- Process, policy, and reporting recommendations
03
Operate
Implement the changes, hand over clearly, and stay available where ongoing support is useful.
Typical outputs
Ongoing · Implementation, training, advisory support
- Implemented and documented workflow changes
- Team handover notes and practical training
- Progress review and agreed next steps
