Challenges & Goals

Keeping your inventory records organized and up-to-date when both new physical and virtual systems are constantly being introduced into and retired from the corporate boundaries represents a daunting challenge to businesses globally. In a world where the corporate boundaries are getting blurred by the increase of telecommuters and mobile systems, that challenge gets even more complicated. Companies in all areas of business need tools that can:
  • Easily identify rogue and/or unauthorized systems that are being introduced into your environment
  • Keep track of hardware make, models, and serial numbers for warranty purposes
  • Assess current computing needs for future consolidating, virtualization, or expanding capacity
  • Quantify application packages installed across the corporation for software metering
