Business Challenge
IT departments need a fast system to collect accurate hardware and software information from a remote, agent-less location. IT groups need to collect asset data across the entire organization with little or no prior knowledge of what’s “out there.” They need to identify not only the assets themselves, but also how they are configured. Companies must be compliant with software licensing and up to date with versions for file sharing. They need accurate records of their hardware and software.
Business Need
- Auto-populate and maintain Configuration Management Database (CMDB) with configuration items (CIs)
- Need real-time, automatic IT reports on hardware and software issues
- Enable help desk to track detailed software and hardware issues remotely
